Norman's fortunes take a turn when he purchases a monkey from an elderly man in the park and immediately begins amassing a fortune. However, fate is not inclined to let such good luck endure...

A severe thunderstorm forces Norman to seek refuge in an auction room. Inside, he experiences a series of strange accidents, including dodging an explosion, accidentally touching the Venus de Milo, and trying to evade a dangerous thug known as Mr. Big.
3. A Little Bit of Respect
Are you a seven-stone weakling? Do you get sand kicked in your face? Even by women? Then follow Norman's example and get into uniform. Everybody respects a uniform - or so believes Norman. Yet he's too small to join the police force, nearly drowns as a lifeguard, and faints as a first-aid man! Finally, he goes for an interview as a night security officer...
4. I Gotta Hearse
When you die, you die. However, there's no assurance you'll make it if Norman is behind the wheel of the hearse!
5. Who Was That Lady?
Deirdre St. John Featherstone-Haugh is stunning, elegant, and cunning - and she has her sights set on Norman. Not out of attraction, but because she requires a partner in crime to secure a large sum of money. With amnesia, Norman is unwittingly drawn into her deceitful scheme. He is forced to masquerade as a prominent aristocrat and a former head-boy of Eton.
6. And I Mean That Most Sincerely
Cheer up - you are smarter than you think. At least, that's what Norman discovers when he becomes the star performer on a TV quiz show.
7. The Angels Want Me for a Sunbeam
When Norman is present, anything can happen - and it usually does. Who else on a construction site could mistakenly guide the operator of a wrecking ball machine to demolish the restroom while the foreman is inside? After such a memorable mistake, Norman questions if life is still meaningful - a mindset that will take him into uncharted territory.
