At the bus stop, Mr. Bean tries his best to revive a heart attack victim before using an ambulance to jump-start his own mini-car. Later, when posting a letter, he loses his only stamp, but that doesn't stop him from sending his letter anyway. Whilst preparing for his holiday, Mr. Bean demonstrates a novel (if not entirely efficient) method of packing, then disposes of a bothersome train passenger, and tries to entertain an airsick boy during a plane flight.

While Christmas shopping, Mr. Bean purchases a bulky string of tree lights before making a shambles of a department store toy section. He later manages to acquire a free turkey and Christmas tree, and attempts to conduct a Salvation Army band. Finally, during Christmas dinner, Bean has quite a surprise in store for his long-suffering girlfriend.

Mr. Bean goes to a hotel where he causes trouble and seeks competition in his hotel neighbor. After he eats some spoiled oysters, he wakes up at night from some loud noise and ends up being locked out of his room.

On his way to the Southsea funfair, Mr. Bean accidentally becomes lumbered with a baby boy with no idea of how or where he came from, forcing him to try having fun at the fair with the baby. Throughout the day, the baby manages to survive Bean's unique style of mishaps before eventually being reunited with his mother.

On New Year's Eve, Bean hosts his very own party with his friends Rupert and Hubert, but it isn't long before his guests discover that there is more fun at the party next door and trick Bean into letting them go. The following morning on New Year's Day, Bean buys some new tools and a large recliner armchair at the January sales of a department store and has a unique way of driving home. He then tries painting his flat himself and starts off the new year with a bang.
