As the episode begins, Bluey and Bingo are helping their dad, Bandit, load the car with goods they plan to sell at the markets. The girls are excited, and as they load the car, they come up with some unique ideas for things they could sell at the markets, such as "invisible cakes" and "just some love".

Once they arrive at the markets, Bluey and Bingo are eager to set up their own stall. They soon realize, however, that they have a bit of a problem - they don't have any goods to sell! Luckily, their mum, Chilli, steps in and helps them create some handmade products, including bracelets and friendship necklaces.

Bluey and Bingo are in charge of selling their handmade goods, while Bandit sells their homemade jam. Chilli looks after their stall, ensuring it is presented well and attracting customers.

Throughout the day, the family interacts with other vendors, including the local honey seller, who teaches them all about bees and honey production. They also meet a musician who invites the girls to play their instruments with her. She even gives Bluey a lesson on how to play the harmonica.

As the day wears on, the market starts to close down, and the family is left with a lot of unsold goods. They decide to give them all away to the remaining vendors, leaving the market with nothing but memories of a fun day out together.
