The story

Arthur Prohack, a Treasury civil servant who is extremely frugal with the government's money, suddenly inherits £250,000 and is convinced to go on six months' sick leave. His children Charles and Mary tap him for money for an investment scheme and a theatrical production respectively, whilst his wife Eve buys the family a far larger house, which she fills with an aviary and then aquariums. Charles also buys his father a new car, which on its first drive is involved in an accident with Mimi Warburton.
