Bibi wants a pet. Barbara is against it however: pets are dirty and hard work too! So Bibi conjures up various animals for herself but something goes wrong each time. Barbara is annoyed and tells Granny Gertrude about it. Next day a little black cat arrives by post. At first Bibi is thrilled. But the cat behaves like a human being, is very neat and tidy and clean and soon rules the household. When a super cleaning detergent threatens to destroy the house, Granny Gertrude has to intervene. She takes the cat back since it belongs to her in the first place and she wanted to teach someone a lesson. As a consolation, Bibi is allowed to take the neighbor's dogs for a walk.

Floribus the botanist gives Benjamin his rare "Wake-me-up orchid" to look after. This is a very special flower: whoever smells its scent is immediately wide awake. The two crooks Hinky and Pinky find out about this. They steal the orchid from Benjamin and run off to the harbor where the Maharajah of Rubistan is arriving on his yacht. He is suffering from a rare sleeping sickness. Whoever cures him will get a big reward. Benjamin and Otto follow the crooks' trail and try to get the orchid back.

The Newtown weather cock is in desperate need of repair. When Benjamin finds this out, he immediately stands in as the weather elephant. The fire brigade builds him a platform on the town hall tower and Otto supplies his friend with food and drink. At last Carla Caramba gets proper weather reports for her newspaper. Everything would be just fine, but then the two crooks Hinky and Pinky steal the freshly gilded weather cock and a heavy storm is coming towards Newtown.

Kashmir the little ghost at Concord Castle can't float or go through walls any more. Now he plans to visit his uncle in Scotland to get his advice and help. The ghostly guided tours will now have to stop. Benjamin wants to stand in for Kashmir but the castle keeper doesn't like the idea. But when Benjamin's friend Otto explains that big ghosts can give you a big fright, then he agrees. And so a funny spooky adventure begins at the castle.

Benjamin and Otto are practicing lassoing. Benjamin's trunk throw is sensational! Mr. Mike Donald sees this and invites the pair to his ranch in America. There they meet the little Red Indian girl "Red Feather" and the cute little calf "Moo-Moo". When Mike Donald tells them about cattle thieves, Benjamin and Otto just have to keep night watch. But they fall asleep and next morning all the cattle and "Moo-Moo" have been stolen. Benjamin and Otto have to find them again.

Benjamin and Otto collect Easter eggs for the zoo from Egmont Eggman. Gold painted eggs are a big hit this year because a valuable golden egg belonging to the Baron's great-aunt is on show at the museum. Benjamin takes an especially large egg, which is making a sound. He keeps it warm and soon "Beakily" a little goose hatches out. What joy! Benjamin teaches her to walk and fly. Together they cause a lot of excitement in the zoo.
