Only Fools And Horses Series 1, Episode 3 - Cash And Curry - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Del's swooping in on the deal of a life time - it could keep them all in pilau rice forever. All he has to do is get hold of a poxy statue... The trouble is, he hasn't reckoned on a touch of gang warfare!

Further details

Eager to forge new business contacts, Del befriends Vimmal Malik, a wealthy businessman who seems eager to work with Trotters Independent Traders.

After a dance at the Camberwell Chamber of Trade, Del and Vimmal are cornered by Mr Ram and his heavy boys. It seems that Vimmal is holding onto a pricey porcelain family heirloom that belongs to the Ram family - and they want it back.

In order to make an impression, Del offers to mediate between the two men, especially because Mr Ram is willing to pay four grand for the return of the statue to his family.

Unluckily for Del the four grand is just a ruse and he ends up losing a fortune to Vimmal and Mr Ram, a couple of conmen touring the country using the same scam on local businessmen wherever they go.
