The Slitheen only have one bodysuit, but the sight is enough to terrify Andiba who decides to leave the spaceship and get to the distillery. After saying the ship's verbal code to open the door she came through, Andiba rushes back to the distillery to tell the owner about the Slitheen and their plan to destroy the town. Unfortunately, the manager doesn't believe her and points her towards the main doors so she can leave. | The Slitheen only have one bodysuit, but the sight is enough to terrify Andiba who decides to leave the spaceship and get to the distillery.

A furious Andiba leaves the distillery and then bumps into Vash who sits down with her on a bench.

The young girl explains to Vash about the Slitheen and their plan to destroy the town and Vash believes her. Just then, a cart carrying four wooden barrels pulls up and its driver steps off, allowing Andiba to recognise him as one of the Slitheen wearing the one skinsuit they have. The disguised Slitheen enters the distillery to talk to Vash's father about a new distilling process he claims to have developed. | ||
Vash goes to his father's office to find out what is going on. Later, the disguised Slitheen returns to the cart and supervises a group of workmen who carry the barrels into the distillery before opening one of the barrels so he can show its contents to Vash and his father. Once the Slitheen has left, Vash returns to Andiba so he can tell her that he avoided the vinegar and that he claimed that the barrel contained the best wine that they will ever taste and that they shouldn't taste it until he returns. | Vash goes to his father's office to find out what is going on.

Both Vash and Andiba decide to taste the wine. Vash recounts that his father thought there was something odd about the man who gave them his so-called wine. Once the workers have left the distillery for the day, Vash's father tastes the liquid in the barrels to find that it's merely [[water]]. Andiba tells him about the Slitheen's plan to infiltrate the distillery by hiding within the barrels. | Both Vash and Andiba decide to taste the wine.

After some discussion, Vash convinces his father that vinegar is the Slitheen's weakness. They attach a hose to the outlet atop one of the vats of vinegar before Vash's father opens one of the barrels, from which emerges a Slitheen who is soon destroyed after Vash sprays it with vinegar.

The other two slitheen also emerge from their barrels and are killed by the vinegar. The trio realise that the last Slitheen will return to see if the plan to infiltrate the distillery has worked. | ||
The next day, the disguised Slitheen returns to the distillery. Vash's father explains to the Slitheen that he had some new equipment delivered to the distillery and they have had to store it on top of the barrels that had been delivered the day before. Vash and Andiba give the Slitheen a wine bottle and a glass before telling him to drink their "wine" which has an unusual colour. After a moment of hesitation, the Slitheen drinks the wine, only to find out with horror that he has actually drunken vinegar. | The next day, the disguised Slitheen returns to the distillery.
