Legyen szó vízvezeték-szerelésről, kéményseprésről, a narancslekvárgyár meglátogatásáról vagy az iskolai krikettmeccsről, Paddington mindig kész segíteni, a Brown család őszinte rémületére. Ám ha kedvenc mackónkról van szó, két dolog biztos: a nevetés és a happy end. Hiába a sok balfogás, a végén Paddington megoldja.

Paddington egy nap izgalmas hírrel állít be magyar származású barátja, Gruber úr régiségkereskedésébe: a Brown család vakációra megy Franciaországba. Ráadásul a családfő Paddingtont bízza meg az útiterv összeállításával. Persze a tévéből is jól ismert mackó nem is lenne önmaga, ha nem okozna felfordulást, ahová csak lép, legyen az a bank, a repülőtér, vagy egy lakatlan sziget, de a végén valahogy mindig jó sül ki belőle.

Ezúttal is a tőle megszokott nagy lelkesedéssel fog bele egyszerűnek tűnő feladatokba, de aztán igyekezete hamar zűrzavarba és mindenféle kalamajkába torkollik.
