A TV producer sees Old Tom causing mayhem at a shopping centre and, thinking Old Tom is a comic genius, gives him his own TV show. Soon Old Tom is a TV star, and everybody who previously disliked him know wants to be his friend - even Lavinia. When Old Tom is mobbed by fans at the Department Store, Lavinia rescues him and takes him to a party she is throwing in his honour. Old Tom enjoys this adulation until he realises that his old friends - Angela and Lucy - are being left out. Old Tom turns his back on his new fame and new friends, and goes back to being himself.
