an apt pupil learning several ploys that can give him an upper hand. In order to complete his education, Potter assigns him a field test of his skills to evaluate him. Returning to London, Palfrey first returns to the car dealers who conned him, and convinces them that, after a tune-up, the vehicle they sold him turns out to be "valuable" and sought-after. Eager to acquire it, the pair offer to trade for it, to which Palfrey cons them into handing over an Austin-Healey sports car and 100 guineas (£105) for the car, which promptly breaks down after he leaves. Returning to his family firm, Palfrey next puts Gloatbridge in his place by pretending he will arrange a merger with a larger firm and that his clerk's bookkeeping has gotten sloppy, allowing him to also earn the respect of his employees in the process. Finally, Palfrey challenges Delauney to a rematch, and uses various ploys to frustrate him before they even start playing, including making him damage his own car. When they eventually begin the match at the tennis club, with April watching, Palfrey proceeds to win six straight sets with ease, with Potter later graduating him for his successful application of his education. Delauney, angered by what has happened, belittles Palfrey after he departs, only to disgust April by his behaviour, who proceeds to leave and joins Palfrey for a drink. Shortly after she leaves, Delauney notices Potter surveying him before departing, and soon becomes suspicious of this. He quickly follows after him, when a staff member at the club mentions witnessing the scene between them and Palfrey. Meanwhile, Palfrey brings April to his apartment where he proceeds to use his wooing tricks on her, including spilling her drink on her dress, and convincing her to put on his dressing gown. Eventually she winds up in his bedroom, but Palfrey finds himself unable to take advantage of her. Before he can send her home, Delauney barges in, dragging Potter with him, and reveals the truth by what happened at the tennis club. However, April realises that Palfrey's sudden decision to send her home was because he genuinely loves her, leading them to embrace. Both Delauney and Potter are disgusted by Palfrey's display of sincerity, with the latter breaking the "fourth wall" to apologise to the audience for his pupil's behaviour. The film ends with Delauney getting off the train
