Short summary

Fletch's stolen tin of pineapple chunks has gone missing and the unlikely culprit is Mr. Barraclough, who took them home pending the opportunity to return them to the kitchen, only to discover his wife using them with a gammon steak. He likes Fletch, as he has been a good listener on his marital problems and says he will replace the tin if Fletch pays for it. Meanwhile, Godber steals another tin for Fletch from the kitchen and its absence is noted by Officer Birchwood, who informs Mackay. When Mackay goes to check, the tin has been surreptitiously replaced by Mr. Barraclough just a few seconds before, causing Warren to think it's a miracle. However, Mackay later finds Godber's "present" on his bed, and Fletch is on his way to the governor.

First appearance of Banyard, the former dentist turned prisoner.

Last appearance of Ives in the series though he did appear in the film in 1979.
