The companions use the map to determine the location of the treasure, then return home on the sleeping pirates' ship.; Bill is minding Baby Badger and to keep him happy Rupert buys a balloon from the pedlar. When the balloon starts deflating he goes to the Old Professor who gives him some special pellets which reinflate the balloon far lighter than air.

After he gives Mr. and Mrs. Bear the tickets, Tigerlily arrives with a second sock for him and they return to Nutwood together.; Rupert meets a Boy Scout who mentions doing a good turn. Podgy tells Rupert he is supposed to meet his cousin Rosalie and entertain her for the day, but doesn't feel well. Rupert says he will see to Rosalie for him.

At the end of the day Podgy admits he was faking illness to avoid spending the day with Rosalie.; Exploring in the forest, Rupert encounters Cedric, a boy dressed in fine clothing, who tells Rupert that he and his father, the Knight of the Forest, were imprisoned in their castle by their Steward.

Three Girl Guides appear carrying the fallen item, a hamper. When they open it a number of folded paper hobby-horses emerge and flutter away. Later, a Golliwog arrives on one of Santa's reindeer. The hobby-horses are Santa's messengers. The Golliwog sounds his rattle and recovers the hobby-horses except for one who stays with Rupert to deliver his Christmas cards.; All in all, Sylvia's frisky puppy leads everyone a merry chase. As Rupert tries to catch him he leads Rupert up a drainpipe where Rupert gets stuck. He runs about Deepwood Hall with a stolen slipper, but the squire gives him a bone rather than a scolding. As Bill tries to hold the puppy so Rupert can clean the mud off him, he jumps and pulls Bill into the river. Rupert remarks that however bad a puppy is, no one really minds.
