In this very first episode, Mr Benn has been invited to a fancy-dress party. He looks round the shops for a costume to wear, but everywhere he finds only ordinary everyday clothes. Turning into a small lane on his way home, Mr Benn comes across a costume shop where he chooses an outfit of red armour. Changing into the armour, Mr Benn passes through another door in the shop's changing room and finds himself in another world, where he helps a disgraced palace dragon regain the King's favour, and bring justice on the evil match-seller who ruined the dragon's reputation. On returning to his own everyday world, Mr Benn decides he has had enough excitement and won't be going to the fancy-dress party after all. But he tells the shopkeeper that he will be coming back to the shop again soon to try another costume and have another adventure...

Mr Benn is dressed as a hunter, but he doesn't behave like one; instead, he prevents his fellow hunter from killing any of the animals. By a clever trick with the aid of a herd of elephants, Mr Benn manages to convince the other hunter that he is not safe with a rifle, and suggests that the man should try shooting things with a camera instead.
