Max wins a cereal jingle contest and leaves to enjoy the million dollar prize. The man and woman hired to replace him have an ulterior motive in accepting the job!
A fun episode which stars Jane Merrow as Margaret Chumley and Paxton Whitehead as Gordon Chumley, who are the helping hands who replace Max (who has won a million dollar prize and reluctantly leaves to enjoy his new found status). The Chumley's are stereotypical helping hands straight out of an English Manor, cut-glass accent, a cold manner, strict and deadly - they are also criminals who plan to take huge sums of money from Jonathan and his rich guests. The interaction between Jonathan and Max about him leaving is touching. One thing is clear- Max isn't just a butler but family.
It's a solid episode with fine performances and a tense last fifteen minutes with the bomb ready to go off if the demands aren't met. "How are we going to get out of this situation" dilemma is strong.
