Tracey is perturbed to learn that Travis, working in Marbella on a gap year, has followed his Spanish girlfriend Angelina to Morocco and, accompanied by Sharon and Dorien, flies to Tangiers to locate him. In a bar owned by Dorien's old flame Vince they discover that he is in jail, charged with stealing an antique vase and set out to unmask one of three suspects they believe to have set him up. Identifying the culprit endangers them all and they have to resort to disguise and a dodgy pilot to get them home. Fortunately the insurance money Sharon has conned out of a false claim for industrial injury comes in useful but the escapade sees them literally up in the air before they return to Chigwell.
