Camilla says she wants to become a gardener. At first Benny is delighted, but soon realizes she isn't cut out for the job. To discourage her, he tells the gullible caterpillar a dangerous carnivorous plant is lurking in the greenhouse. But his cunning plan backfires.

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.
