Flying Horse landlord Tony Hayes has challenged Fred to a barbershop competition and he tries to find a quartet. Ida wants the election to be a secret ballot. Alf, Bert and Eddie agree to join Fred in the quartet. Pauline Stringer holds the election. Fred sets up the competition for next Monday. The men are horrified. They practice, singing Sweet Adeline. Ena enters the Rovers and points out that Fred is out of key. The others agree and drop him. Ida gets 14 votes but Ivy wins with 17. The two make up. Pauline points out to Mike that the vote split the girls down the middle; Ivy won't be so confident from now on. Ken tells Albert that the decorators won't be starting on Ena's flat until after Easter. He breaks the news to her when she comes back from the pub.

Fred and Alf realise nothing says the quartet must all be men and press gang Renee into joining them.
