 Tristan treats Albert Skerry s bloated cow by releasing some of its stomach gas. Unfortunately, as he does so, Mr. Skerry strikes a match with the expected results. The humour of it all is lost on Sigfried when he receives a solicitor s letter requesting compensation. Ewan Ross, a nearby vet, asks for some help and Sigfried suggests James go out and give him a hand. Ross is a formidable character who is not only one of the best horse vets around, but is also reputed to be overly fond of drink. Sigfried gets the idea that they should raise guinea fowl; pandemonium ensues when Tristan forgets to close the gate.
