Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Part 1[[edit] | [edit source]]
Sergeant Slipper finds a pound on the ground, but to his dismay, it has been glued to the ground by a "rotten rascal" - that being Dennis the Menace. With the help of Gnasher, who paints a target on Slipper's posterior, he flings the spikes off of a cactus and strikes Slipper's bottom, resulting in him jumping into the air in pain and losing his dentures, which fly farther into the air.
Meanwhile, over Beanotown, a group of celebrities, including Jonathan Ross, McFly, Jamie Oliver, Mr. Bean, and a Dalek are promoting Red Nose Day by flying in a Red Nose-shaped hot-air balloon, Unfortunately, Sergeant Slipper's dentures puncture the balloon, sending the celebrities through the air as helium escapes the balloon.
The balloon lands atop a jam factory, and the celebrities fall through an open window, becoming covered entirely in jam. They then exit the factory, and Dennis the Menace instructs Gnasher to lick them clean, for which they thank him. Dennis then tells them that he and Gnasher will fix the balloon, and tells the celebrities to go and explore Beanotown.
