Else's sister Maud and her husband Ted have emigrated to Australia but Maud is not well and Ted rings up to ask if Else can over there and help them out. Alf is not keen to let his wife go but, for Else, the journey is two-fold - not only will she be helping her sister out but she will be taking a well-deserved break from Alf and despite his entreaties she boards the plane to take her Down Under.
