However, Hyacinth and Richard arrive at the church hall, things are not going to plan: All of the volunteers supposedly taking part are unable to make it.  In a last minute attempt to get the show off the ground, Hyacinth invites Onslow, Daisy, Rose, Bruce, Cavalier, and Violet to participate.

Things don’t get any better as during rehearsals, Hyacinth falls foul of a stage accident. Meanwhile, Daddy is dancing the tango with a man.
