While fishing about space, Small Clanger catches a floating teapot in his music boat. Having never seen a teapot, the Clangers attempt to discover the peculiar object's purpose. Small Clanger proposes it to be a soup jug to carry their soup from the soup wells, so he puts his idea to the test. After filling up the pot with delightfully delicious green soup, Small Clanger takes it back to the house. Out of curiosity, he decides to blow through the spout of the pot, spraying soup out of the top, making a dreadful mess.

Underneath the craggy surface of the Clangers' planet, Glow Buzzers make their wondrous hives on the walls of the caves producing delicious glow-honey. The Glow Buzzers, however, do not appreciate the Clangers taking their honey without their permission. They appreciate manors. Small Clanger finds himself craving the sweet taste of their honey. When he attempts to sneak some, the Glow Buzzers are naturally furious with Small Clanger's rudeness. In contrast, Tiny asks respectfully for a taste of Glow Buzzers' sweet honey, and they gladly offer her a portion.

The Clangers along with their friends kindly assist him with their gentle demeanour.

When unexpected debris from outer space crashes onto their peaceful planet, the Clangers explore these strange arrivals with curiosity and wonder. Among the scattered objects, a hoot, a trumpet-like creature, falls into one of the Clangers' caves. Small and Tiny Clanger swiftly pull the poor hoot to safety. The Hoot Planet comes to retrieve the missing hoot, but Tiny's pipe organ chimes in wishing to go with the hoots. As Tiny attaches the pipe organ to the planet, the Hoot Planet recklessly takes off hoisting Tiny into space. Frantically rushing after her, Small and Major Clanger save her.

When unexpected debris from outer space crashes onto their peaceful planet, the Clangers explore these strange arrivals with curiosity and wonder. Today, Iron Chicken radios Tiny Clanger warning her egg will crash on the planet. Acting swiftly, the Clangers catch the egg with their tablecloth and wrap it up to keep it warm. Relieved to see her egg safe, the Iron Chicken comes down to find a cozy crater to put the egg in and wait for it to hatch. The Clangers reel in the egg shell, but the delightful chick has already hatched.

The Clangers run into a problem when their soup trolley breaks, so Major Clanger and the Soup Dragon attempt to create a machine to transport their delicious green soup from the soup wells into their home. The innovative device fails instantaneously when the pipes burst, spilling green soup all over the Clangers' floor. Mother Clanger is obviously upset that green soup coats her clean home, so the Clangers leave the troublesome contraption outside. Creative Tiny Clanger recycles the machine into a marvellous musical instrument.

When Small and Tiny Clanger discover the Froglets — little orange aliens who live nearby — shivering from the cold, they decide to help. To warm them up, they fetch their favourite dish, blue string pudding. But the Froglets have ideas of their own. Instead of eating it, they wrap themselves up in blue string like scarves and feel much warmer. The Soup Dragon, curious as ever, pops up to see what's going on and mistakes the Froglets' new "clothes" for food.

Peter makes a video clip to promote Ben’s music but when it doesn’t succeed Lily, who still fancies Ben, casts a spell over the clip enchanting anyone who sees it. Suddenly everyone in River City, including the Bureau and Professor Maxwell, is singing and dancing to Ben’s music. Lily finds a way to lift the spell, but Ben decides he’s had enough of fame and quits the café.

Despite the Bureau’s protests, Maxwell takes responsibility for the damage to the Library and is suspended from teaching. His replacement is Doctor Apinya, a distinguished magical archaeologist, who takes a keen interest in Kyra. To resurrect Ladder, Lily, Ruksy and Peter venture into the fairy tale book to secure enchanted wood and fall foul of the Witch of Crow Crag.

Befriending a wandering Cloud, Tiny welcomes him to Mother Clangers' birthday party inside their quaint crater. Tiny performs a magic trick with the top hat making everyone erupt with laughter including the Cloud. Feeling terrible for the Cloud, Tiny storms outside with a step ladder to sit with her friend who hovers beside her. They both notice a magic top hat on the ground where little orange aliens called Froglets emerge from. They discover the hat can transport them to the Soup Dragon's cave.

Uncovering a mirror in a quarry, Small Clanger becomes horribly obsessive about his discovery. While he proudly shows others his mirror, he refuses to allow anyone else to look at their reflection. Small Clanger's vanity causes him to be selfish and rude to his friends and family. Nobody wants to speak to him or give him green soup, the Clangers' favourite meal. Soup Dragon makes a deal with Small: he can have some soup if he allows her to look into the mirror. Small Clanger does not hold up his part of the bargain, so the Soup Dragon spills her soup over the reflective piece of glass.
