In this episode, viewers will see Mr. Bean in his usual quirky style as he shows us how to efficiently run errands in the city.

The episode starts with Mr. Bean visiting a toy shop where he promptly gets into trouble by accidentally knocking over a display of toys. He finds a train set he likes and proceeds to set it up on the floor of the shop. When he tries to pay for it, the cashier tells him that he cannot use his credit card, which leads Mr. Bean to absurdly barter with the cashier, offering to trade a head of lettuce for the toy train set. Ultimately he convinces the cashier to accept his credit card by taking him on a "test drive" in his tiny car.

Next, Mr. Bean goes to the department store to buy new clothes. He spends hours trying on a variety of outfits in the dressing room. Hilarity ensues as he struggles to get in and out of clothes, sometimes getting stuck or disrobing right in front of other shoppers. The comedy continues outside of the dressing room as he models new clothing for passersby out on the sidewalk. Mr. Bean ends up buying everything he tried on and leaves the store with his new purchases.

From there, Mr. Bean goes to a fancy French restaurant for lunch. He orders a steak and tries to impress the diners at the surrounding tables with his fancy table manners. However, his attempts turn into mayhem as he employs various tricks and devices to help him eat in style, such as using a straw to drink soup, using a serving spoon as a back-scratcher, and fixing his tie with a fork. He even tries to reject his bill when presented with it, but ultimately pays before leaving.

The episode then takes us to a park where Mr. Bean tries to fly a kite. However, he encounters several issues in the process. Instead of string, he has used his tie, which results in his tie getting stuck high up in a tree. He then finds a small boy who is also trying to fly a kite, and they bond over their shared interest. Mr. Bean helps the boy get his kite up in the air, but it quickly gets tangled in a tree branch. Mr. Bean then offers to help the boy untangle the kite but ends up getting it stuck in another tree. The two boys end up using Mr. Bean's tie to jumpstart the kite, and they both successfully fly their kites.

Finally, Mr. Bean visits a barbershop and gets a haircut. He tries to communicate with the barber using hand gestures and sounds, but the barber misunderstands and proceeds to cut Mr. Bean's hair in various silly shapes.
