Les persuades a none too keen Toyah to join the family on a touring  holiday to North Wales in Charlie West's camper van. After a breakdown Toyah and Les end up pushing the van to a nearby caravan park. Toyah's enthusiasm for the holiday soon picks up when she spots site worker Owen.
Unbeknown to the Battersbys the site where they have broken down is the exact same site the Platts, Sally Webster and their kids are holidaying at.
 
Owen offers to look at the camper van's engine for Les. Unfortunately Owen can't fix the problem... ...much to Toyah's delight!
Owen's father, the camp site owner, offers the Battersbys a static caravan for the week at a reasonable rate which Les offsets by offering to become the camp's entertainer.
Toyah spots Owen fixing a nearby caravan and asks him if he'd like to walk along the cliffs with her. Unfortunately he is too busy but Toyah says she'll see him in the bar later. Toyah heads for the beach with the Platts instead and makes a friend of Sarah Lou.
In the bar that evening Owen takes a shine to Janice whilst not paying much attention to Toyah.
After some attempted match making by Janice, Owen reluctantly agrees to Toyah's request for a dance whilst Les the DJ plays Careless Whisper on the camp's disco equipment.
Owen continues to give Toyah the brush off. Les disturbs Toyah's studying to help him promote his next disco evening.
Toyah makes eyes at Owen but doesn't get much response. Later she almost catches Janice and Owen kissing in their carvan.
 
Les's DJ rehearsals cause much embarrassment. Les excels himself by throwing Janice into the camp swimming as a practical joke.
 
More embarrassment as Les blasts out Status Quo. Unfortunately for Les he has connected his microphone badly causing him to be electrocuted. Martin saves Les with the kiss of life. Meanwhile, Janice who was with Owen at the time, rushes to his side.
 
Owen calls at the caravan to see if Les is OK. Les starts on about making a compensation claim but Toyah and Janice remind him of his last claim. Toyah laments that Owen isn't interested in her because of Les.
 
On the last day of the holiday Toyah is relieved that Owen has finally come around to say goodbye not realising it was Janice he'd come to see. Toyah puckers up for a goodbye kiss that isn't forthcoming. As they drive away Toyah explains Owen's behavior as being a bit shy and hopes they can keep in touch.
