Sin embargo, un acontecimiento mantiene al pueblo alegre y expectante: el matrimonio entre la princesa Elizabeth y el teniente Philip Mountbatten. En todas partes se quiere celebrar la boda, y en un pequeño pueblo del Yorkshire se hacen planes para cebar un cerdo de contrabando, que será el plato principal del banquete.

Mr and Mrs Cooper are staying at a boarding-house in the seaside resort of Morecambe with their small children, Colin and Jennifer. Mr Cooper has just been made redundant, but the family are trying to keep this a secret from the other guests. Also staying at the hotel are Keith and Jo, a young couple on their honeymoon, and an older couple, Mr and Mrs Thornton. Waking early one morning, Colin amuses himself by dangling one of his sister's sandals out of the window on a piece of string.
