Ill-advisedly, someone has given Mr. Bean his first charge card. He is determined to use it in "The Department Store," but loses it in somebody else's back pocket. However, Mr. Bean never lets go of a valuable possession. In a smart "Restaurant," how do you discreetly dispose of a meal that you find absolutely revolting? Mr. Bean provides a step-by-step instruction. Waiting nervously in the line-up before a "Royal Film" Performance, Mr. Bean rehearses meticulously for his Big Moment. As for so many, his first contact with a member of the Royal Family will be unforgettable.

Today, Mr. Bean buys his first television. When he finds himself experiencing a spot of reception trouble, the solution is one that only Bean could have dreamed up. He's also bought himself a Polaroid camera, which he takes to the park for some fun with photography. When a seemingly friendly park goer steals it, Mr. Bean devises a cunning identity parade, during which he does his Bean-like best to sniff out the camera thief. Evening finds Mr. Bean at Club Phut, where a magician selects him to assist in the performance of a trick, and unwittingly invites disaster upon himself. Horrified, Mr. Bean runs off to the disco to take advantage of the opportunity to show off his one-of-a-kind dance moves.

Mr. Bean is delighted to have found his way to the "Funfair," but less than thrilled to have inadvertently landed himself with minding a baby. He now has the quandary of keeping the baby safe without in any way compromising his own fun at the fair.

When his barber runs off to take a phone call, Mr. Bean mistakenly joins in with the other hairdressers in the shop but he leaves confused customers with styles that aren't quite what they asked for. Then he goes to the village fete, where his unorthodox approach to the carnival games earns him some dirty looks. He enters Teddy in a pet show and wins, but ultimately returns the prize. Finally, Mr. Bean loses his ticket home and tries to sneak into the train station, but he ends up hiding in a mail bag that's on its way to an address far from his own.
