Siblings Susan and John arrive at Scatterbrook Farm to find it troubled by a late harvest. Can walking, talking scarecrow Worzel Gummidge help restore the natural order?

When the 'Trubblemakers' terrorize the village, Worzel comes to terms with his purpose in life.

Susan and John visit a scrapyard, where they meet Worzel's old friend Saucy Nancy. She is a carved ship’s figurehead, and she wants their help to get back to the sea.

It's the build-up to Bonfire Night, and a new face has arrived in Scatterbrook. Worzel's cousin, Guy Forks, has taken his rightful place at the top of the bonfire, but an argument between the old friends leads to a competition to prove who can do the other's job better. With the Bonfire Night Committee distracted, Guy convinces Worzel to swap places, but it soon becomes clear that Worzel has bitten off more than he can chew.

When a flock of choughs turns up at Scatterbrook Farm, Worzel is keen to seize the chance to scare such a rarely seen bird. But his plans are soon scuppered when a group of avid birdwatchers moves in.

Susan and John are excited when they learn that FR Peregrine's Travelling Fair is coming to Scatterbrook for one night only. But as much as he'd love to join his friends, Worzel can't be seen wandering around by humans. He recalls the legend of a fairground with an enchanted organ. It is believed that, with the right music, the organ has the power to send humans to sleep so that scarecrows can enjoy the rides without the fear of being seen.
