Mary, manageress of the Specially Fried Chicken takeaway in Croydon and young counter-hand Joe are shutting up shop when a thug wielding a knife demands to be given a portion of Mock Nuggets. Mary locks herself in the store cupboard, leaving Will to be the hero of the hour, much to the glee of envious assistant manager Derek, who covets Mary's job and hopes that this will see her sacked - though it does not. Joe, meanwhile, spurred on by his friend Ed, sees his heroism as an opportunity to woo Anal, the new girl.
