Sherlock Sooty and Sweep start the latest money making scheme with a group of officers which Soo makes Scampi the criminal with Sooty and Sweep the detectors. Once the others think Scampi stole Richard’s notepad, Scampi is locked up inside bars until confessing. They then begin tidying the shop up to get their rewards until Matthew returns. Richard Cadell and Liana Bridges make their first appearances as presenters and the last series of Matthew Corbett's era as a presenter of Sooty.

Matthew, Sooty and Soo are trying to get a new computer working, but can't manage. Matthew finds Sweep and Scampi playing with the wrapping that the computer came in and gives them into trouble. Matthew goes to the computer shop for help. When Matthew is out they get a customer looking for spare parts, he offers to help them with the computer and manages to get it working. While Sooty and Soo are doing that, Sweep and Scampi are busy trying to catch a mouse. In the end it is caught and Professor is gone by magic, Matthew returns home to find that the computer is working and that it was his fault because he never switched it on!

Matthew and Sooty and Co. believe there is no such thing as The Invisible Man, so Sooty plays a trick on Matthew with an invisible vase and Matthew plays a trick on Scampi with a handkherchief and an invisible thread. Sweep, Scampi and Soo then play a trick on Matthew into believing it was the invisible man by using a magnet to move the mug across the table by itself. Matthew then believes he is invisible but when he drinks a bottle of syrup of figs, he makes a fool of himself by stripping himself to his underpants and causes him to have abdominal pain.

It's Sooty's birthday as Liana and Richard plan a surprise birthday party for him. They sing him a special birthday tune 'Many Happy Returns' as Matthew is in a box covered in gunge.

Matthew leaves Richard Cadell and Liana Bridges in charge of the Sooty and Co. shop. Liana gets stuck in the toilet because the key was broken. Whilst Richard tries to fix the lock, he gets his nose bleed, his head hit whilst lifting a stiff lid, and when the phone rings, Richard trips down the stairs which breaks his foot. Then whilst trying to pull a bone out of the lock, it hits him in the broken nose and then Sooty hits him in the head with a hammer instead of the screwdriver. Liana then opens her mouth and when Richard uses a pumper to get the juice into her mouth through the keyhole, it gets her face wet. Matthew returns to the shop to find out what Richard, Liana and others have been up to which he is not happy with Richard and others for leaving Liana locked in the toilet.

Mathew is reading a newspaper headline all about burglaries. Sooty, Sweep, Soo and Scampi are tidying up. Later on, Matthew is quite upset to find rubbish everywhere and it keeps appearing. He thinks Sooty & Co. is not being burgled but 'Delgrubed'. Matthew tells us he thinks this because Delgrub spelt backwards is Burgled.
