Mama Mancello has never considered herself an Australian. She has run the business since her husband died and takes it for granted her daughter will take over. Mama runs the business along old fashioned lines and refuses to update it. Lucia knows the business is going broke but can't tell Mama to truth. They import Joe, a dress designer relative from Italy to make changes (to turn the place into a fashion shop) which impresses commercial traveler Thompson. Mamma Mancello resents him but goes along with it because he is family. However then Lucia's car salesman boyfriend Fred tries to persuade his girlfriend to sell the factory premises to his boss, using the possibility of partnership for himself and marriage to Lucia as bait. Mama turns to Joe in an attempt to disrupt the plan. See less
