[edit] Synopsis
Del Boy's latest get-rich-quick scheme involves super-sharp combs and lourve doors funded by Denzil's £2,000 redundancy money. But unfortunately, Brendan O' Shaughnessy and Teddy Cummings don't want the lourve doors, which lands Del in hot water with Denzil, who's demanding his money back.
Rodney reads an article about a rare butterfly, and a butterfly collector's desire to catch it and pay a large sum of money to whoever brings it to him. Later, while on the run from Denzil's angry brothers, they see the butterfly in the local cemetery. Rodney eventually captures it in the lake of the nearby park.
He hands it to Del, but Denzil, after hearing that Del has gotten him his money back, wanders by and gives Del a high five, crushing the butterfly.
[edit] Trivia
- The idea for the script was based on an article of a rare butterfly that John Sullivan had read about.
[edit] Errors
- When the Trotters are in the cemetery, Del says that Grandad is in the garden of "external peace" which surely means he was cremated, yet in "Strained Relations", Grandad had been buried.
