Plot
The Weatherfield Recorder runs the story of Stan's big toe, carrying a blown-up picture of the toe in question. Hilda is horrified and accuses Ken of making Stan a laughing stock. Hilda allows Stan to go to the Rovers. The regulars take the mickey out of him and his toe. Emily tells Mike that Don Watkins has fiddled £6,000 out of the stock. Mike can't believe he's been so stupid. Alf assures Rita he intends to help her all he can. Mike tells Alec Yardley about Watkins' swindling. Mike tells him that he wants the police brought in but Yardley doesn't want them involved.
