Sergeant Slipper comes past and tells them that they cannot play with water today because there is a water shortage. Hot and wanting their own pool, Dennis and his friends decide to dig one in Dennis's backyard and figure out how to fill it later. Their digging leads them to find the old drains of Beanotown. In their exploration and hunt for water, they end up being chased by Slipper, and releasing the overflow of Beanotown Lake. The water flows right through the drains and fills the hole in Dennis's garden, giving the boys the swimming pool they wanted.
Mum is clearing out the house and orders Dennis to pack up some old junk and then clean his room. During the cleaning, Dennis comes across a bundle of objects that inspire him to be a private investigator. Gran comes round to see if she can find one of her old teapots as she needs it for a date with a gentleman later on that day, so Dennis takes up the missing teapot as his first case.

Bea threatens to do a poo unless she gets to go on the bouncy castle, so Dennis takes advantage of the operator's tea break and fills the bouncy castle for Bea, unaware that he has used helium by mistake. Caught in the act they flee the scene, only for Dennis to discover that Bea has climbed aboard the now airborne castle. Dennis and Gnasher, Curly and Pieface execute a daring plan to save Bea, but ruins the bouncy castle in the process, landing Dennis in trouble again.

After Dennis breaks his bike, Dad is unable to afford a new one, so Dennis convinces him to ask his boss for a raise. Unfortunately, Mr Scrimp reduces his wages instead. Dennis then trashes his house to convince Scrimp that his family are poor, so that Mr Scrimp will feel compelled to raise Dad's wages. Just as Scrimp has been taken in by Dennis' plan, Mum and Dad arrive home laden with shopping bags, resulting in Dad getting fired on the spot. Dennis resolves to get Dad his old job back by secretly causing chaos at his office. To restore order Scrimp rehires Dad, sealing the deal with a generous pay rise.

Dennis is seized and sent to the dog pound, where he realises exactly why Gnipper and Gnasher have not come home—the dog pound is a dog palace where all the pampered dogs get whatever they want. After spotting Dennis, Gnasher is ecstatic to be reunited but trouble arises when the kennel warden arrives. She loves Gnasher, and does not want to see him taken away. Despite the sausages on offer, Gnasher makes his choice clear, and together, the three of them escape from the kennel to go home.
When Dennis breaks his skateboard again, Dad agrees to buy Dennis the best skateboard there is as a replacement if he is able to win a prize at the upcoming school award ceremony. At this late stage, the only prize that Dennis has a chance of winning is the best behaviour prize, so he does everything he can to win the contest. When Walter is ruled out for knocking over the guest speaker, Dennis looks certain to win—until Gnasher escapes from the house and follows Dennis to school, where there is a reception full of food.
