After an argument with Lena, Stan decides he must get a job because, being an actor, he spends most of his time out of work. He strikes up a friendship with Dingley, who offers him a partnership in his Florist Shop.
Lena can't understand Stan's complete change of character, including his getting out of bed. Stan, however, wants to make his first day as a florist/gardener one to remember. After spending it at Diana's-not all the time in the garden - it proves to be just that.
Stan gets a film studio contract to deliver Christmas trees. But even a florist has difficulty in getting Christmas trees in June - but on a roundabout?
Dingley is very depressed about life and the fact that the Council are going to paint a yellow line outside the shop. Stan gives him a philosophy book called ' Action and Being' and gets more action than he expects.
Dingley and O'Shaughnessy, a part-time helper at the florist shop, call at Stan's flat on their way to work on Dr Lamb's garden. By coincidence, he happens to be Lena's psychiatrist.
