The Chiffy Kids go camping on a farm. Magpie causes a tent to collapse and as a punishment is tied to a large cooking pot. Freeing herself, she prepares a stew which is eaten by Herbert. The kids find only bones in the pot, and the repentant Herbert returns with sausages.

Smoke bombs fail to dislodge an old busker who has taken over the kids' headquarters, an abandoned circus caravan. One of Magpie's hidden treasures, a half-eaten fish, finally drives him out.
