Geoffrey receives a phone call telling him that Grandad has had an accident and is in hospital. He tells Bungle, Zippy and George that he will have to go up to the hospital and that he will take them to stay at Auntie's house for the night. Geoffrey takes them to Auntie's in his car. Bungle has some flowers for her and George has made a get well card for Grandad, but Zippy isn't very happy at going to stay with Auntie and would rather stay at home. When they arrive at Auntie's house Zippy is disappointed that he'll have to miss his favourite cartoon as she doesn't own a TV set. Also he doesn't like the sausages she's cooked them for their tea. After tea, Auntie asks Bungle, Zippy and George to help her with the washing up, but they aren't very happy at this. Auntie tells them they shouldn't be so lazy and selfish and that families should help each other. Then Rod, Jane and Freddy visit and sing "They're Your Family". Later, Auntie lets them play with an old train set that used to be Geoffrey's when he was a little boy. This cheers Zippy up and when Geoffrey telephones to see how they're all getting on Zippy tells him he's having a wonderful time!
