Wigglehouse[]
The episode starts with Murray getting the cups, plates and mustard to bring outside but suddenly he carried so much at once and he makes a mess on his shirt with the mustard while he was carrying it in his right arm. He tries to look in the Wiggle box where he keeps his special red Wiggle shirts but there were no more clean red shirts in the box, only finding some stuffed animals. Murray runs to his room and tries on the Hawaiian shirt and the black jumper, but it's a bit hot, forcing him to wear the Hawaiian shirt instead. When he went to see the other Wiggles and their friends, they assume he's a stranger who just moved in as their new neighbor the day before. He doesn't know what it was and then he knew that it was the shirt that was the problem, because his friends didn't recognize him without the red shirt on. He tried to prove to them that he is Murray. First, he did the guitar solo out of "Get Ready To Wiggle" but they say that Murray can teach the stranger guitar lessons and then he did the dance that he always does but it did not work but he tried to say that it's him, but Anthony asks where Murray is, and Greg said he hasn't seen him for a while (because he is too shy to come out of the house and meet the stranger).
Wiggly Trivia[]
- Will the others ever recognize Murray?
- What will Murray do?
- Where did he get that shirt from?
Murray then asks Captain Feathersword and Dorothy if they know him, but they still don't know him, and Dorothy had a rose petal sandwich. Captain Feathersword throws the ball to try and show Wags to catch it by doing the arm action with the ball passing by Murray. But Wags was reading the newspaper of K-9 Times and now the ball was moving everywhere around the front yard and now the ball was heading straight for the window and it's the one at the porch and Captain Feathersword got scared that it's going to shatter the window but it moved away from the window and it went past Greg, Anthony, and Dorothy but as it moves closer to Greg and Anthony they move out of the way to the left then it safely bumped into another shirt that is Murray's. Then Murray just realized that he washed another red shirt and put it on the clothesline to dry and he went inside to put it on. When he came back out, the others then recognize that it's Murray now. Then Greg tells Murray that he saved food just for him and then Anthony asks where the stranger went, Greg suggests that he must have gotten bored with Wigglehouse after he tried that dance so he decided to run away from their neighborhood by moving to another town. Captain Feathersword and the others tell him to dance, and then when Murray said that he did not want the Hawaiian shirt anymore, he threw it away and it landed on Jeff, who has been sleeping on the porch of Wigglehouse throughout the whole segment. When he woke up, the Wiggles believe the stranger decided to stay in the Wiggles' neighborhood (although he quickly got a brand new look and haircut so they would like him even more) and they did not recognize that he was Jeff this time and Murray asks, "Have you seen Jeff?" and the whole thing starts all over again.
Henry the Octopus[]
Henry is so excited about something that he forgot where his shoes are, only to find that he's wearing them. Nancye comes by and sees that Henry is packing stuff in a basket. Jacques the Shark comes by as well, and says hello, but Henry is too busy to reply. Jacques blows his saxophone loudly but Henry doesn't hear it. Nancye asks Jacques what Henry is doing, and Jacques replies he's packing for a picnic. Then Henry looks up and acknowledges his friends, saying that he was going to go to the undersea mountain and have a picnic, but it's much more fun if he goes with his friends, so he invites them. Jacques and Nancye help Henry pack, and board the Octomobile, but the Octomobile is too heavy. Henry decides to have the picnic on his front yard, and they all have a good time there.
Captain Feathersword's Pirate Show[]
The whole place is a mess. Captain Feathersword tells Wags, after a long leading speech, declares that Wags should have obedience lessons. And to help out with that, Captain has bought an Acme Obedience Kit, which contains a whistle. Captain says if he blows this whistle, Wags will be hypnotized to do whatever he wants, like cleaning up this mess. Captain blows the whistle, but nothing happens, because Wags can't be hypnotized by the whistle. Captain goes looking for the manual, when Wags takes the whistle and blows it. Captain gets hypnotized by the whistle and says, "Look at all this mess. I shall be an obedient pirate and clean it all up." After the Captain cleans up the area, Wags blows the whistle again and swaps the whistle with the Captain's broom. Captain comes out of his hypnotic state and is impressed that Wags has "cleaned" the place. He tells Wags he can rest for a few minutes before making the Captain's lunch. Wags takes the whistle and blows it, which hypnotizes Captain again, although this time he makes Wags a bone sandwich.
