The Funny Little Bugs

Roger takes exaggerated care to avoid catching an autumn cold, but unfortunately loses his scarf. Always willing to help, Annabelle is subjected to the roach's moans and groans as she helps him look for it. To play a little trick on him, she swaps roles, and with Mickey as her accomplice, expresses exaggerated concern over the state of Roger's health. Terrorized by the shock treatment, the roach miraculously recovers. But he is bound to soon find something else to worry about.

Betty and Larry have organized a party for Annabelle. Shhhhh. it' s a secret! To ensure Greta doesn't spill the beans, the Betty pretends the party is being held for an important guest. Of course, all the garden insects now want to come. Betty and Larry have trouble keeping the secret safe and must dissuade Annabelle from helping with preparations. Naturally, the poor ant is convinced nobody likes her.

Fancy that! Mickey Mosquito whose stinging injections everyone avoids, has himself been stung in the night. The hunt is on to find the culprit.

Lily ignores Betty's warnings and sets off alone to pick blackberries in a clump of brambles. Suzy, Betty and Ernie save the foolish ladybird from danger, but she seems to think she saved herself all on her own!

Exasperated by Marvin's snide remarks about his ugliness, Larry makes a bet with him that by tonight he will find someone willing to accompany him to the ball. The poor louse tries to win over Betty with humor, Greta with knowledge and Wendy with style, but fails miserably. He wins the bet thanks to fellow-sufferer Suzy (also ignored because of her looks), who proves the perfect partner.

Head in the clouds Greta loses a portrait of the Queen Bee, a painting Boris has put a lot of work into. Mortified, she is about to confess to the beetle, but chickens out at the very last minute. Filled with despair, she writes a letter of confession to the Queen and is preparing to leave the garden for good when she sees Boris being escorted to the castle-hive by two guards. Terrified, but adamant the painter should not be punished in her place, she bravely demands an urgent audience with the Queen to exonerate him. Only then does she see that the painting has in fact safely arrived at the castle, and Boris has been summoned to be congratulated. Gobsmacked, but relieved, Greta departs without daring to find out what happened. She bumps into Roger on her way home, and finally gets to the bottom of the mystery, only to realize she has left her letter of confession at the castle-hive!
