The new owner of Grantleigh Manor, self-made millionaire Richard De Vere (Bowles) sets about making changes to the day-to-day running of the manor which, having just moved into the lodge at the end of the drive, Audrey sees developing before her.

As Audrey decides to educate the new lord of the manor in his civic duties, a love-hate relationship develops between the pair with occasional mediation from Audrey's best friend Marjory (Angela Thorne) and Richard's mother Mrs Poo (Daphne Heard).
