Fearing his money was stolen when his bank is robbed, Paddington goes to take out his savings and he gets a nasty surprise.

And with Mr. Gruber's help, he makes a pretty good deal. / In his attempt to find the perfect "finishing touch" for Mr. Gruber's newly-built patio, Paddington goes shopping at "Adrian Crisp - Garden Ornaments".
