"Splash Humphries?" Well, you better get used to it, because Mr. Rumbold's made Mr. Humphries' the editor of the staff newsletter! Things get off to a rocky start though: a photo shoot featuring Mr. Grace and his lovely ladies go awry, and the staff of the Ladies and Gentlemen's counters get a bit peeved when Mr. Humphries plans to write less than savory tidbits about them! They decide that Mr. Humphries should use the paper to air the staff's grievances...such as why they didn't get a £600 bonus promised to them! Ever the creative sort, Mr. Humphries comes up with the idea of a "Holiday Girl" competition: the prize will be £600, and the floor's entry will be none other Miss Brahms...until she learns that the second half of the prize is to spend a week with Old Mr. Grace on his yacht! She bails on the competition and both Mrs. Slocombe and the Gentlemen's counter scramble to the rescue, but which one will save the day? Or is the £600 gone forever?
