== Synopsis ==
Perfect Peter has a gold gizmo, but Henry wants one. He needs one! Can he get a gold gizmo from a Sweet Tweet box?
==Plot==
Horrid Henry is up early in the kitchen getting cereal boxes of sweet tweets looking for the gold gizmo. He doesn't have any gizmos for his collection. Then Perfect Peter comes to the kitchen carrying his books and is very surprised when he saw Henry trying to get out the gizmo from the cereal because it was his turn. Peter shouts, 'NO!' and ran to the cereal on the table, but Henry trips him over and all of Peter's books fall too. Henry tells Peter to get out of the way. Peter tries to snatch the cereal, but Henry wasn't letting him do that. Mum comes into the kitchen and sees Henry and Peter fighting over the cereal. Peter says, 'It's my turn to get the gizmo from the cereal!' and starts crying. Mum snatches the box out of Henry's hands and gives the cereal box to Peter. Henry is worried if that might be gold, so he tells Mum to get another cereal box of sweet tweets quickly. She says 'No' and until three more cereal boxes of sweet tweets in the cabinet are finished. Henry keeps complaining about the gold gizmo until Peter sees something shiny out of his hands. It's the gold gizmo, but Henry bangs the table, shouts, 'NOOOOOO!' and the cereal packets get bounced off the table flying everywhere, opening the title card.
In the school, the students keep their bag in a corner and Rude Ralph tells them that he got the blue gizmo. Singing Soraya shows her green, Anxious Andrew shows his yellow and Beefy Bert shows his black gizmo. Ralph said that the black gizmo is like the hole in his brain. Margaret enters and is asked which coloured gizmo she got. She said that she has a silver one. Henry enters and says that he got the gold. He is asked what the gold gizmo looks like. Henry says that he can do anything with the gold gizmo and dreams that his name is getting shouted by the people while he goes to the queen's residence by car. When he went out of the car, the queen runs down the stairs asking where is the gold gizmo. Margaret shouts, "Where is it!" and the dream gets spoiled. Henry says that it is at home, he cannot bring it due to the fear of getting stolen. Andrew says that his lunch box also got stolen, Margaret says that this is nonsense. Henry does not have the gold gizmo and said to him, liar. He eats the eaten chocolate of his friend, while Margaret says that if he would have been having the golden gizmo, he would have shown everyone. His friends says that they want to see it fast and spoke together. Henry said that they would show it in the morning and everyone's eyes would get off after seeing it. Margaret tells Henry they will be waiting. Henry says to the audience that he would have to do something mega clever.
Peter was cleaning his gizmos in his room. Henry entered the room and said chess set, marbles, coin collection. Peter interrupted in between and asked him what was he doing. Henry said that he is seeing that what things he is going to get after Peter goes, as the gold gizmo is dangerous. Peter asked him the reason and said that everyone wants gold gizmo. Henry said that what would happen by its bad luck. Peter asked about the bad luck. Henry called him dumb and asked that he does not read the newspapers or what. Henry also said that it is written in the newspaper that whoever would get the gold gizmo, their bad luck would start. Henry then tells Peter about two separate occasions of bad luck due to the gold gizmo. One was about a girl who got a gold gizmo, and fell down the toilet and drowned. The second one was a boy who was out with his dog and his gold gizmo, and he fell into a pit of molten lava. Henry then looks out Peter's window, and Ralph is out there, a bucket of yellow-green paint next to him. They wave to each other, and Henry shouts that he saw the Giant Flying Curse Bird of Tragedy, which is a sign that Peter is doomed. Peter denies this claim, but Ralph throws some paint at Peter's window, making Peter change his mind instantly. Peter wails that he doesn't want to die, and Henry says that if Peter were to give the gold gizmo to someone else, the curse would pass to them. Henry then adds that he'll take the risk, and Peter, giving him the gold gizmo, says he's the best brother in the world. Henry cheeks says 'Easy-peasy' to the audience.
In the next scene, Henry is in his room, when Peter opens the door and announces that Margaret was there. Margaret then comes into the room, and says she can't wait until tomorrow. Henry then tells Peter to get him some crisps, some chocolate, and then more chocolate. Peter agrees, and goes away. Margaret asks to see the gizmo, and when Henry shows her it, she says it's beautiful and that she wants it. Henry says no, as a gold gizmo is everything. Margaret then says she'll get him a Double Drencher 3000, and the next day at school, Henry gives her the gold gizmo. Henry then grabs the Double Drencher 3000, and sneaks off. However, it's revealed that the so-called gold gizmo is actually just a blue one with gold paint on. Margaret shouts after him, and grabs the Double Drencher back before giving the blue gizmo. Henry then says on Monday, everyone in his class can bring their best offers, and he'll see if any are good enough. That night, Henry goes inside the kitchen in his pyjamas, and finds the key to the cupboard in the toaster. He then finds a cake in the cupboard, cuts a slice but takes a large piece of it instead. Mum catches him, and Peter comes running inside, crying and wailing. Mum asked Peter what's the matter and he told her that the gold gizmo is cursed and Henry took his gold gizmo so he'd be safe but now he's going to die. Although she didn't believe him, Mum orders Henry to give Peter back his gizmo or no TV for a week, Henry explains he needs it for his auction. But Mum wouldn't listen, Henry looses his temper that he wants a gold gizmo.
Fluffy the cat presses the button on the remote to daytime from night. Henry enters the kitchen again and decides to empty out the cereal boxes which doesn't have any prizes inside it so that he can go to the shops to buy another box to find the gold gizmo. He takes one cereal box of sweet tweets and pours it in the kitchen sink, runs some water then he uses a plunger to press it down when Mum catches him. Next Henry takes another box to the garden, digs a hole, pours the cereal into it and on the worm but he gets caught by Dad. Henry goes back inside to see Mum and Peter writing a list and she asked Henry if he want anything from the supermarket but he tells her not to go yet because he wanted to come too after he cleans his room much to her surprise to take one last cereal box from the cabinet while she was not looking.
Henry heads up to his room, uses a vacuum to suck in the sweet tweet cereal in then he shouts at Mum that we need more sweet tweets. At the supermarket, Henry zooms very fast with the trolley around searching the sweet tweets as Mum tells him to slow down and to just get only one cereal box. Henry zooms past the people who clear out of his way and finally finds the stack of sweet tweets. Henry opens one box with a blue gizmo inside so he climbs up the boxes to reach the cereal box on top then he opens it and finds a gold gizmo until he falls down on every cereal box creating a huge mess with the whole people watching. After coming back home, Mum complains to Dad that Henry got them barred from the supermarket and they had to buy every sweet tweet box. As Henry's punishment, Mum and Dad banned him from the TV for a month with his pocket money being reassessed down and they send him to his room too. 
Despite being punished, Henry smiles at the audience as he takes got three gold gizmos in his hand with him. Meanwhile dealing with the humiliation, Dad asks Mum what they were going to do with all the gizmos from the cereal boxes because they can't let Henry keep them but Mum knew exactly who to give them to. At school, Henry asks his classmates what they want to give him for the gold gizmo but they all got the same ones and laugh. Henry is shocked and shouts 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!' ending the episode.
