Pingu: The Complete Series 1-4 (1990-2000)

Pingu and his family are eating lunch. Pingu eats in a rather rude way, smashing his fork so he can scoop up his potatoes, blowing bubbles in his milk and sticking his entire fish in his mouth. He soon leaves to play with his toys, but his father forbids him from leaving until he eats his greens. So Pingu sucks them up through his straw, rushes to the bathroom and spits the greens into the toilet.

After he is excused, Pingu climbs into the toy box and finds his red ball inside. He asks Father to inflate it for him, so he fetches the pump and does so. Pingu finally goes outside with his ball, but then sets it down and goes back inside to blow his nose. While Pingu is gone, Pingo and Pingg find his ball and run away with it.

Pingu returns and chases after the pair, trying to retrieve his ball. He eventually finds them tossing it back and forth. After some fighting which leads to Pingu tripping over his ball and bursting it, he runs home as Pingo and Pingg pummel him with snowballs. Back home, Mother bandages up his head and Father fixes his punctured ball. Pingu finishes the day off with a rest in his hammock.

Pingu's mother trusts him to look after the egg while she helps Father to hang up the laundry. At first, Pingu is happy to help, but he soon gets bored and starts dancing to music on his record player. While he is dancing, the egg grows legs and starts walking around the room. Pingu notices this and tries to get a hold of the egg before his parents find out, trashing the igloo in the process.

Pingu's parents eventually notice the commotion and rush inside to help. Father catches the egg and Mother finds Pingu hiding in the cupboard, afraid that his parents will punish him. Luckily for Pingu, Mother forgives him and Pingu kisses her on the cheek. Mother and Pingu clean up the igloo and Father knits him a hat.

While Pingu is reading a book, Mother and Father notice that their egg is displaying signs that it may be close to hatching. As they take turns sitting on the egg, the kettle starts whistling and the phone starts ringing at the same time. Pingu can't decide which one he should get first, so Mother takes care of it. She goes back over to Father when a small beak pops out of the egg and pokes him in the rear, causing him to jump up in surprise. Mother frantically orders Father to call the midwife.

The midwife soon arrives and begins examining the egg with her stethoscope. Pingu tries to see what is happening but his parents push him aside and tell him to keep out of the way. The midwife carefully removes the shell of the egg while Pingu desperately tries to get a peek. Once the shell has been completely removed, Mother and Father allow Pingu to see his newborn sister. They thank the midwife for her help as she departs.

Pingu's parents are delighted with their new baby and decide to name her Pinga. Father sets up the camera and takes a picture of the family.

Pingu is going fishing: he climbs down a series of cliffs into a craggy, secluded area and finds a fishing hole. He soon catches a fish using some left over green veg as bait. Robby the seal soon appears behind him and eats his bait, unbeknownst to Pingu. He finds out eventually, and lures Robby away from the ice holes, closing them off with large slabs of ice.

A high-speed chase ensues and Robby tries to escape by forcing his way under the ice slab. When Pingu shouts at him, the ice slab falls on Robby's right flipper and hurts it. Feeling remorseful, Pingu takes pity on Robby and moves the ice slab so he can go back underwater. Recognizing the goodness in Pingu's heart, Robby returns his fishing pole and catches him a large fish. Pingu gives Robby his bait in return and they become friends. Pingu then gathers up all his equipment and heads home with the fish.

Pingu is eating breakfast while his father is preparing for work, Pingu was going to help with his mail job, and he goes along with each other, they pass by a penguin named Mrs. Peng-Sniff, who Pingu blows a raspberry Noot Noot at.

Pingu shakes hands with The Post Master as Pingu's father brings out his tractor sledge from the back of the post office, Pingu throws the mail into the back, except the last parcel under his father's instruction. They go to Pingo's house to deliver his parcel, Pingu's Father lets him wear his mail hat to show that he is a mailman, once Pingu rings the doorbell, Pingo's Father answers, but Pingu asks for Pingo, he tosses him his parcel, then Pingo drops it on the ground, and it bounces a few times until it reveals there is a ball inside of it.

Pingu's Father then delivers a letter to a miserable penguin regarding some news about one of his family members passing away. Pingu's Father gives his condolences about it and comforts Pingu who also starts to tear up over the situation.

Pingu then gives another penguin a parcel, but he doesn't answer until he realises he uses his window instead of his door to answer, Pingu then delivers a parcel to a penguin named Punki, but he gets hit in the face due to Punki's way of answering people, it wasn't until his second attempt that he managed to get his parcel delivered.

The last parcel is full of lollies for Mrs. McGreedy's children, and after that Pingu tells The Post Master about the day, then Pingu and his Father return home, Pingu messes around in a backyard, only to find Mrs. Peng-Sniff wacking a carpet with what appears to be a picture of Pingu on it using a carpet beater, Pingu then realizes what would've happened if he let himself be seen so he sneaks by her, Pingu then asks his father if he can wear the mail hat one last time, so he lets him, and Pingu returns home in his Mother's arms.

Pingu, Pinga and their mother are having a quiet day inside. Pingu is building towers with blocks, but they keep falling down, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, Mother lays Pinga down in her cradle and rocks her to sleep. Pingu goes to his mother for help with his blocks, but she is too busy knitting clothing for Pinga.

When Pingu goes over to Pinga, she wakes up and begins to cry. Mother comforts her and plays with her, much to Pingu's annoyance. Pingu desperately tries to get attention by acting like a baby, jumping up and down on Pinga's bed, putting the chamber pot on his head and banging it with a spoon, wearing the bedsheets on his head and pretending to be sick. Mother just ignores him and keeps playing with Pinga.

Pingu eventually gives up and climbs into the toy chest, feeling miserable. Realising how sad she has made Pingu, Mum apologises and hugs him, and he falls asleep with Pinga.

Pingu goes out to play on his sledge and meets up with his best friend Robby. The two of them soon arrive at the old ruined igloo and they play a game of hide and seek in and all around it, followed up by a snowball fight. Hiding behind the wall of a nearly crumbled igloo, Pingu tricks Robby by making a model of his own head out of some things bits of blubber that was left lying. Putting the head on the end of a stick, Pingu sticks it above the ruins and Robby throws a big snowball at it. The head falls off the stick and splats all over the ground. Robby realises he has been tricked and calls for his friend, who sneaks up behind him in a barrel and throws a snowball at the wall, nearly hitting the seal. Robby soon spots Pingu taunting him, and chases him. Pingu suddenly slips out of his barrel and runs to the top of a ruined igloo to get away from Robby. The seal tries to use the barrel to catch up with Pingu and hurts himself in the process. Robby clutches his hurt head and begins to cry. Pingu feels sorry for the poor seal and tries to cheer him up with some of his famous funny moves and postures. It is only when Pingu starts doing the hula-hoop dance with the ring of a barrel, that Robby forgets about the pain in his head and joins in with his best friend's new game for the rest of the day.

Pingu brings Pinga along with him to play with Pingo. When they meet up, Pingu and Pingo start playing leapfrog and Pinga wants to join in. Pingu thinks she is too little to join in, but he reluctantly agrees to let her join for a bit. Eventually, Pingu gets annoyed with her and orders her to go and wait near the sledge.

Pingu and Pingo have more fun with their leapfrog game while Pinga just watches sadly. When Pingo heads back to where they were before, he is horrified to see that Pinga is nowhere to be seen and immediately tells Pingu about her disappearance. The two friends decide to look around the area to see if they can find her.

After some searching, Pingu and Pingo find some footprints on the ground and follow them until they reach Pinga's scarf. They suddenly see a giant hole just a few feet away. Fearing the worst, Pingu and Pingo sadly trundle back home.

They return home by nightfall and Pingu tearfully tells his mother about what happened, but it turns out that Pinga was safe at home the entire time. Enraged, Pingu goes over, and begins whacking Pinga with the scarf as punishment for making him worried, but Mother quickly stops him and tells him that they need to make up. Pingu gives Mother the scarf and she and Pingo watch to see what will happen next. When Pingu tries to look at Pinga, she instantly turns her head away, so he pats Pinga's hand to comfort her and they both hug each other. Pingu then happily feeds Pinga as the episode ends.

The episode begins with Pingu sitting on a sled beside his house, asleep. Robby the seal passes by, sees Pingu asleep, and jokingly attacks Pingu with snowballs. Pingu is enticed immediately to join an acrobatic game in which they pass a large, red fish back and forth to each other. Pingu then tosses it high into the air, and the fish lands on Pingu's head, it's mouth trapped over his head. Robby, briefly abandoning his joking around, aids his relatively new friend by removing the fish from Pingu's head.

They then play a tennis-style game using the fish. However, the fish is eventually caught on the rope and, after a futile attempt to retrieve the fish, Pingu retrieves it using a pair of ice-stilts placed conveniently by his igloo. Robby then divides the fish into two equal parts, which they share and eat all together.

Robby is playing around with some barrels near some ruins, when he sees a barrel that is half covered with planks, like a sledge. Pingu comes around and he and Robby play with the sledge-barrel. They go down a long and winding hill two times, with Robby at back steering and braking - almost crashing into a sloping pillar of snow both times.

After the first slide, they take turns pushing the barrel back up the slope, but before their third go, Robby goes back to the top, and throws one end of a rope down to Pingu. Then Robby holds on to the other end and by his weight, slides back down the slope, but the barrel up with Pingu on it.

Once Pingu has reach the top of the slope, Robby goes back up to join him for another slide down on the sledge. Unfortunately, this time they lose control, and Robby falls off at the bump and Pingu slides crashes backwards into the pillar which collapses on him and traps him inside. Robby rushes to the hospital for help, and an emergency paramedic comes back with him to lift the largest slab of ice from the rubble in order for the seal to slide in and rescue Pingu. As soon as the shaken Pingu is out, the paramedic drops the heavy slab just in time and the entrance collapses. Pingu is not badly hurt but he did bump his head when he crashed, so the paramedic puts a plaster on Pingu's head and then gives the young penguin and seal a ride home on his stretcher sledge.

Pingu, Robby and Pongi are dawdling around one day, when they see a hockey team practising for a game. One of the strikers, named Snow Dog Hugo, sees the three young friends and asks if they would like to join in as their rival team. As Pingu, Pongi and Robby get kitted out, the professional team feel sure they will crush their new rivals easily. The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.

At first the Professionals get two goals at once, so Robby turns the goal over to make it more difficult, but the referee disapproves of this and makes him put it back the way it was. Then suddenly, Pingu manages to outwit the Professional's goal keeper and gets a goal and they woop for joy over their small success.

Snow Dog Hugo's team all become annoyed at the other team's victory celebration. One of their teammates is so annoyed that he rams into Pingu with rage to shut them up. Then on the next try, the team take this move to the point where they all play aggressively by knocking them with their putts, forcing them into the corners and sides, and so on to ensure they do not win. Pingu and his friends are so cross at being pushed around that they throw down their gear and storm off. After Robby's tail heals, Snow Dog Hugo and the others question themselves if they went too far, and when they see Robby performing some moves, they decide to discard their hockey equipment too and join Pingu, Robby and Pongi, which eventually culminates into them figure skating and they have the most fun they have had all day together.

While Father is out with his friends, Mother is at home with Pingu and Pinga. It is time for Pingu and Pinga to go to bed but they are having so much fun that Mother sees no reason to send them off yet. First they play with their blocks, then after a quick run round the toy box Pinga knocks the tower blocks over and Pingu gets into an argument with her. Mother's peace is disturbed and she tells them it is time for bed and tells Pingu to brush his teeth.

Pingu clears the blocks back into the toy box and then skates off to the bathroom with the block boxes on his feet. Mother is happy to hear what she thinks is the sound of beak brushing in the bathroom, but really Pingu is sitting on the toilet reading a comic and rubbing his beak brush up and down on the side of the bathtub.

After giving Pinga her last milk, Mother sets her on her potty. Pingu comes out of the bathroom and after seeing his clean teeth, Mother contently goes to do the beds. As soon as Mother goes into the bedrooms, Pingu kicks Pinga's potty and sends her skating across the room. As a punishment, Mother makes Pingu go and make the beds himself. This is a task which he does not enjoy, but it can be made fun. He takes the covers off his bed and starts jumping up and down on it like a trampoline. Mother storms in to stop him, but just as she has got her young penguins together, they start to wander off.

At last Mother gets them both to bed, but then Pinga is up again asking for more milk. After that Pingu is up again asking for something to eat, so Mother gives him a pilchard which is a very oily fish and he makes such a mess of eating it. Pinga asks for a dummy and Mother has to wipe greasy patches off Pingu's feathers. Then Pinga wants her teddy and Pingu wants the rest of her milk. When Mother stops coming to their demands (though Pinga made one to pick up her teddy after she dropped off the bed), they go out to find their exhausted mother asleep on the sofa next to a spilled glass of juice. Realising how tired Mother is, Pingu pushes their beds together and he and Pinga escort Mother to their bedroom where they all finally go to sleep together.

Pingu runs out of his igloo, when he sees the snowman's carrot nose has fallen off. After he puts it back on, Pingu goes and sits on his sledge. Pingo coming along on his new skis. Pingu is most impressed and decides to tag along with him. Not having a pair of his own, Pingu uses some junk from a ruined igloo to build a make-shift pair of skis. Pingu and Pingo then climb up one of the mountains and race back down again on their skis. Coming to a bumpy section, Pingo falls off and breaks his skis. Pingu tries to see if he can do any better, but just as he comes to a stop at the bottom, he ends up breaking his pair of skis too after colliding into Pingo's skis. They go over what they have got left and then set off for home, arm-in-arm, on one unbroken ski each.

One night at dinner, Pingu is in a bad mood about having to eat his greens. When Mother offers Pingu some of her beetroot, he refuses and splatters it all over her chest. Father rebukes him, but Pingu takes no notice and starts rocking back and forth in his chair until he falls, taking the tablecloth with him. All the food goes everywhere, some of the plates get broken and Pingu's parents become furious, much to his dismay. After Mother spanks him, Pingu leaves the igloo in tears, thinking that his parents no longer love him. Once outside, Pingu yells at his parents in a fit of anger and walks off into the night.

Back inside, Pingu's parents are enjoying some quiet time when Mother notices how late it is getting. She points this out to Father, who is certain that Pingu will be back soon. Meanwhile, Pingu becomes frightened when he realizes just how scary the outdoors can be at night. He nearly gets crushed by falling ice, and encounters several scary-looking mounds of ice which all look like monsters with horrible hands. Terrified, he runs away and waits for help inside a small cave.

Back home, Mother and Father are very worried that Pingu has still not returned and decide to go look for him. Mother walks ahead and calls for Pingu while Father drives close behind on his tractor sledge. Pingu hears his mother's calls and replies. Happy to see her son, Mother grabs Pingu and hugs him. Father finds them together and apologizes for what happened earlier. They drive home, Mother feeds Pingu some soup and they go to bed happily.

Pingu is going on a camping trip with Pingo. When they find the ideal spot to set up camp, there is a large pile of ice blocks lying there so that they can build their own igloo. However, they cannot agree on where to build it and get into an argument.

Eventually Pingu decides to build his own igloo where he wants and Pingo does the same However, because they only have half the blocks each, their igloos turn out to be quite poorly made and collapse while they are fighting over the last remaining block. At first they laugh at each other's misfortunes, but then they realize the enormity of their situation and feel bad about falling out with each other. So they make up and build a proper igloo together.

After the hard work is done, Pingu and Pingo go inside the new igloo, wrap themselves up Pingu's blanket and tuck into the fish that Pingu had brought with him until night comes.

While Mother watches Father making a cake, Pinga is playing her bugle. At this Pingu gets out his accordion and makes an awful noise. Then when Pingu starts using it like a yo-yo, Mother sends Pingu outside despite how much Pinga enjoyed it.

Meanwhile, Pingu sees some penguins talking. He tries to play his accordion again, but they all flee and lock themselves in their igloos at the sound of it. Eventually, Pingu arrives at Grandpa's igloo to find him playing his own accordion. Pingu is so amazed at how well he does it. Grandpa greets Pingu with a welcoming tune and asks him to do like-wise. At the piercing noise that follows, Grandpa offers to give Pingu some music lessons and they soon become as good as each other and are playing perfectly together.

Pingu then returns back home to play his accordion with his family members and surprises his parents with his perfect playing. They like the tune so much, Pinga taps her potty to the beat with a stick, and the parents clap. Pingu feels very happy indeed.

Pingu's dad is ironing and Pingu is practicing his writing while his mum watches, when Pingo comes over and asks if Pingu can come out to play. The parents say it is alright and the two young penguins are outside in a flash. They play with Pingo's ball and Pingu gets so carried away, that he kicks the ball backwards over his head and it goes off into an overhang in the ice.

Pingo goes to retrieve the ball but the ground wobbles under his weight. Pingu tries edging over to the ball himself as he weighs less, but the ground still tips forward under him. Pingu then gets Pingo to sit down on the end of the wobbling ice to keep it in balance while he tries again to fetch the ball. Suddenly Pingo stands up without thinking and they all fall through the ground into an ice cave. Pingu starts crying, but Pingo is sure they can climb back up to the trapdoor again. Then the entrance collapses above them and Pingo starts crying instead. Pingu comforts his friend and they explore further into the cave to find another way out.

After looking around in the dripping, echoy caverns and edging their way along a long ice shelf, they come to a load of abandoned miners' tools and they see a slope to the surface where the sun light is shining in. Pingo is worried about the sheer drop in between, but Pingu has the answer. He swings across to the other side, using the miners' rope hanging from the ceiling, which comes away as he lands. Luckily Pingu has another idea; he lassoes the rope onto a small stalagmite next to Pingo, and tells Pingo to hang onto it and shuffle his way across the chasm, with Pingu holding onto the rope on the other side. Pingo's weight starts to take its toll and Pingu begins to slip, but he holds on doggedly and quickly tugs on the rope, pulling Pingo back up as fast he can. Pingo reaches his flipper across to the other side and Pingu edges over to catch his friend. Pingo reaches his wing out and Pingo catches hold of him just in time.

Pingo is trembling visibly from the experience, but is very relieved to be safe, so the two of them edge up the slope to the surface. Pingu opens up a man hole cover and finds himself back in the open. He climbs cheerfully up, helps his friend out, puts the man hole cover back and decides that this will be quite enough adventures for one day.

Pingu and his friends Pingo and Pingg go tobogganing up in the mountains. After a long climb up to the top, they sledge back down to the bottom again. Pingo and Pingg slide down at top speed, but Pingu is having trouble making his sledge go fast. The blades on the bottom of Pingu's sledge are rusting, so Pingo gives him a oily rag to polish them down while they have another slide down the hill.

Once his sledge blades are clean, Pingu joins his friends in their third slide down the mountain. But Pingu has now over-polished the blades of his sledge and he races past Pingo and Pingg and rockets out of control into a lump of snow. His sledge breaks on contact, but Pingu continues to slide along the snow and crashes into the snowman outside his igloo.

Pingu is stuck inside the snowman, so Pingg and Pingo move it into the igloo and start next to the stove to melts. When the snowman completely melts away to reveal Pingu, all three young penguins have a good laugh over the whole adventure.

After finishing his lunch, Pingu goes to a pub to get a drink. Pinga follows him there and asks if she can have a drink as well. Pingu buys her two, but when she drinks them, she accidentally goes to the toilet on the ground. Pingu hurriedly sends her home and she makes it to her potty just in time.

Pingu then drinks too much and needs to go to the toilet too. The bartender tells him not to urinate at his pub, so Pingu rushes back home as fast as he can, but when he gets there, his father beats him to the bathroom. He tries to use Pinga's potty instead, which his mother is not happy about. Pingu rushes outside and rings the doorbell so that Father has to come and answer, allowing him to make a dash for the bathroom. However, he urinates on the floor, because the toilet is too high.

When he has finished cleaning up the mess, Pingu tries to go to the toilet using stilts. Mother comes in and tells him not to, but Pingu explains to her that he was only doing so because he could not reach the toilet. Mother suggests that they build some steps for him out of snow. They do so, and Pingu is finally able to go to the toilet in peace.

Pingu walks to school with his backpack, and on the way, meets up with Robby. Robby slides down a snowy mountain and Pingu follows, sliding down on his backpack. Pingu slides his backpack to Robby which he puts on for a bit. Pingu and Robby arrive at the school to find two rows of desks, a blackboard and the teacher's igloo all ready for them. The teacher Mr. Peng-Chips walks out of his igloo. As he turns around to close the door, Robby quickly jumps into the school fishing hole. Mr. Peng-Chips rings the school bell and Pingo and Pingg arrive at the school just in time.

Today's lesson is things to eat which you find in a fishing hole. Pingo jumps into the fishing hole first and after short interval jumps back out. Mr. Peng-Chips tells Pingo to draws what he saw on the blackboard. Pingo draws a haddock which pleases the teacher. Pingg then jumps in next and comes back saying he saw something too. Pingg is sent to blackboard and draws the skeleton of a haddock. Pingu laughs in amusement and Mr. Peng-Chips shakes his head trying not to laugh himself. No penguin eats skeletons so there is no point in even looking for them. Pingu states that he can tell them what is in the fishing hole without even going to look and then starts acting like a seal. Pingg, Pingo and Mr. Peng-Chips do not have a clue what he is supposed to be. Pingu goes to the blackboard and draws his friend Robby the seal, but none of them believe that there would a seal in a school fishing hole. Pingu takes a mullet out from under his desk and holds it over the hole. Robby then jumps up and eats the fish's body leaving only the skeleton to be seen. Pingo and Pingg are amazed and Mr. Peng-Chips is very keen to meet the seal who is clearly Pingu's friend. Pingu calls for Robby who leaps up from the fishing hole and is introduced.

Mr. Peng-Chips invites Robby to help with the lessons that day and as he rubs the draws off the blackboard the seal fishes out a haddock, an eel, a plaice and a lobster from the school fishing hole. The four creature are hung up on the blackboard and Robby joins Mr. Peng-Chips who asks Pingg to name the first two creatures. Pingg remembers that they are a haddock and an eel which pleases Mr. Peng-Chips. The teacher then asks Pingo to name the third creature. At first Pingo is not quite so sure like Pingu is who raising his wing in order to answer. Then Pingo remembers it is a plaice. Mr. Peng-Chips nods and calls Pingu to name the last creature. Pingo and Pingg are waving like mad to show they know but Pingu is struggling to remember. Robby does not want his best friend to look silly, so while Mr. Peng-Chips is not looking, he quickly scribbles the penguin word for lobster on the blackboard. As soon as Pingu says "Coo-coo", Robby rubs the word out and Mr. Peng-Chips pats the young penguin's head happily. Today all his students are star pupils.

Pingu is painting a picture while his mother is ironing clothes, but then the telephone rings and Pinga answers the phone whilst on Pingu's shoulders. Mother takes over the phone to discover it is Grandpa (her father) who is suffering from the measles.

They all go to Grandpa’s house and while Mother tries treatments, Pingu and Pinga run around singing and dancing to cheer Grandpa up, but end up giving him a headache. Mother tells them to be quiet, but then they go and fiddle with the sauce pan until the lid falls off. Mother tells them to stop messing about and keep out of the way, so they go over to Grandpa's wardrobe. Pinga plays dress-up and Pingu crashes a sledge into the wardrobe.

Mother makes them go outside, where Pingu finds a board and puts it above a giant wad of snow to make a seesaw. Pingu bounces Pinga up and down on the seesaw making her woop for joy, making Mother run out to tell them to stop the noise. As Mother puts spot cream on Grandpa's head, Pingu and Pinga play kick snowballs at the door. Mother goes out to stop them banging at the door and gets a snowball in the face. This is the last straw for her, so she then tells them to go home.

Pingu and Pinga sledge back to their igloo and then they use red markers to make fake spots on their faces. Then Pingu calls Mother to tell her that they have got Grandpa's measles. Mother zooms straight home to find her children under loads of bed sheets and finds them all spotty. Mother rubs their heads to see how hot they are and she finds out they have tricked her. Mother relieved, she lets Pingu put spots on her face too. She then joins Pinga in jumping on the beds, but when she jumps onto Pingu's bed she smashes it to pieces, which is enough to make a penguin of any age laugh.

Pingu, Pinga and Robby decide to put on a circus and lots of penguins come to watch when they see them putting up the posters.

The three youngsters start off the performance with the band, consisting of Pingu playing the drum, Pinga on the bugle, and Robby with the accordion. Then Robby shows off his fancy roly-poly techniques. Next Pinga does some juggling and drops the balls. Robby laughs and Pinga throws one of the balls at him, knocking his hat off his head. The audience clap and laugh at such a funny sight.

Pinga and Robby then do an animal tamer's act; Robby pretends to be a lion and then does ball balancing tricks and jumps through a hoop like other seals did before him at the circus. Now it is Pingu's turn to do his series of funny dances and his strongman's act. He lifts up a big dumbbell with as much effort as he can to make it look heavy, then after he drops it back down again, Pinga takes it away with no effort at all which makes the audience laugh out loud.

The next performance is a clown act where Pingu and Pinga jump up and down on top of a seesaw, Robby pushes a bucket of blue paint under Pingu and Pingu lands in the bucket, covering himself in paint and splattering it all over Robby as well. Pinga comes over and laughs at his big brother who spits more paint over her too. The audience whoop, laugh and clap louder than they have done all day and the three blue clowns finish off the performance to a musical climax.

Pingu feels sorry for the poor organ grinder. He puts some money in his hat and wants the adult penguins to do the same but they all look the other way.

Pingu and Pingg are playing hopscotch, not knowing they are doing it in Father's parking space outside his igloo. When Father comes home and parks it in there, Pingu and Pingg start shouting at him to no avail, he then proceeds to scoot off the hopscotch markings, which causes Pingu to try and tell him off, but Father questions Pingu why he even put it there in the first place and proceeds to draw a border around it and places a parking sign, resulting in Pingu and Pingg heading off somewhere else to play.

They eventually come across a yard, where Pingg proceeds to entertain Pingu by dancing around, but then Mrs. Peng-Sniff pops her head out one of her windows and starts yapping at them about their noise very loudly. Pingo then comes along and thumbs his beak at her. She threatens to hit them with her carpet beater, so the three leave as she misses with it. She leaves and accidentally closes the window on her wing, making her cry out loud in pain, and making Pingo, Pingg and Pingu laugh. They then start playing ball, and Pingg accidentally bounces the ball onto Mrs. Peng-Sniff's roof where it bounces up and down again and again.

Mrs. Peng-Sniff comes crossly outside, catches the ball and then takes it inside her igloo. Pingo and Pingg protest to tell Pingu (because he is more polite) to go and get the ball back so he begs for it back to no avail. He rings at the door again, but Mrs. Peng-Sniff just pushes him off. Then Pingu throws a snowball at the doorbell and they run away to let the bell ring on and on. Mrs. Peng-Sniff runs out to chase them off and removes the snow, but accidentally gets herself locked out of her own igloo in the process. The young penguins look back and laugh to see her yanking at the door and then squeezing through the window to get back in. Pingu decides to help her, by climbing in through the window himself and unlocking the door from the inside. Mrs. Peng-Sniff is so grateful, she gives the young penguins their ball back, and they all play together. Mrs. Peng-Sniff decides to join in, but accidentally hits the ball onto her window and breaking the glass which is enough to make any young penguin laugh.

Pingu’s parents are off to a concert, leaving Pingu and Pinga at home to take care of themselves. As Mother and Father leave, Pingu and Pinga make themselves out to be upset, but when the front door closes, Pingu and Pinga jump up and down on their beds excitedly. Now they're free to do whatever they want. Pinga puts on the radio and Pingu gets the cooker going to make pancakes. Pingu shows off his pancake tossing tricks to Pinga. Then the pancake gets stuck to the ceiling! Pingu and Pinga look up, and the pancake then comes down right on top of Pingu's head. It drips off his beak making him look like an elephant. Pingu and Pinga then play with Pingu's red rubber ball, bouncing it around and making a big mess all over the igloo.

Meanwhile at the concert, Father closes his eyes to feel the music. Mother nudges him to make sure that nobody sees him and thinks the music is boring him to sleep. Back home, Pingu opens the wardrobe and he and Pinga play dress-up with their parents' hats. Then Pinga puts a box over her head while Pingu puts a bed sheet over his and they play at being monsters.

At the concert, Mother pulls out a photo of Pingu and Pinga with halo rings above their heads and starts wondering about them being left alone. Father tells her not to worry and that they will be home to see them soon. Meanwhile Pingu and Pinga are taking a bubble bath. They jump playfully around in the bubbles util they tip the bathtub over leaving a bubbly watery mess on the floor. Then Pingu realises the time; the concert will be over and Mother and Father will be coming home. Quickly Pinga cleans up the bathroom and turns off the radio. They tidy up the room and Pingu tries to shove all the clothes back into the wardrobe.

The job is done just in time. Mother and Father come into the igloo to find the penguin chicks sound asleep. Mother thinks her wardrobe looks rather odd; she does not remember leaving it with clothes buldging through its doors. As soon as she touches the wardrobe, all the clothes fall out onto the floor and that wakes Pingu and Pinga up. They ask if Pingu and Pinga can explain what happened, but of course they can not. Mother tidies up the wardrobe and asks if Pingu and Pinga missed them. They say yes, so they give them a hug for looking after the igloo, before going happily to bed.
