Del
strikes up a cushty
deal with a retired jewellery dealer called
Arnie. When a case of 18-carat gold chains is offered
to him, Del agrees buy them to the tune of £12,500.
Despite
Rodney's
objections, Derek ropes Mike,
Boycie,
Trigger,
Albert
andÂ… Rodney into a consortium in which no-one can
lose.
A
spanner is thrown into the works when Arnie collapses
at a business lunch, seemingly struck by a heart-attack.
The ambulance whisks him away, with both the jewellery
and twelve-and-a-half grand still on his person.
Despite
being dead, Rodney spots Arnie collapsing and being
whisked away from another restaurant.
They've
been had, but no-one pulls a fast one quicker than the
Trotters and revenge is the only dish on the menu at
Arnie's next meal.

and the philosopher Plato in the excellent 1996

Rodney: I could go down to the townhall
and find his name on the register.
Del: Well done, Rodders, that's good thinking.
Trigger: No! He only moved here recently
from Lambeth. He wouldn't be on the list yet.
Del: You dipstick!
