The Wiggles introduce themselves and Johnny the Cook. Madeline asks what Harold has and he replies that he has some cold spaghetti. Mitchell picks up some wiggly spaghetti with a spoon, shaking it. Harold also has mashed bananas; Maria picks up a bowl of bananas and mashes some with a fork. Harold also has hot potatoes. Louise picks up one potato but it's hot! He juggles it, passing it to Jason, who passes it to Mitchell, who passes it to Janelle. Janelle puts the potato back on the dish and says it's time to sing a song about hot potatoes, cold spaghetti and mashed bananas. She says to watch out for Captain Feathersword in case he comes by and takes the food.

Janelle remarks that Captain Feathersword sure was tricky, since he tries to take the food. Now we're going to do a song about shaking. First, let's get into our shaking clothes. 1, 2, 3. Janelle snaps her fingers and The Wiggles are now wearing colourful sports jackets.

* **Song 2**: Shaky Shaky

In the end, they have to get back in there Wiggles clothes. They count to 3 and Janelle snaps her finger and they all got back into there Wiggles clothes again.

The Wiggles are with kids and Henry the Octopus holding teddy bears. Janelle tells everyone that Henry the Octopus is here and he tells everyone again to say hi to Henry. They greet Henry and he says "Hi, everybody" back. Madeline asks what Henry is holding. Henry says that he is a teddy bear hugging his favourite teddy bear and he loves hugging his teddy bear. Madeline suggests that let's all sing a song about teddy bears.

* **Song 10**: The Monkey Dance

Captain Feathersword was trying to dance like Henry when Madeline and Janelle tells him what's going on? But he told them that he forgot how to do it. So they asked Henry if he can teach Captain Feathersword to dance with The Wiggles.

* **Song 11**: Henry's Dance

And after when he danced, he took a bow and his pirate hat fell off and when he picked it up, his feathersword fell. After Janelle thought of an idea, to put the hat back on his head by jumping into the air and it worked.

The Wiggles and the others watch a videotape on TV all about Dorothy's birthday party.

### Dorothy's Birthday Party

The Wiggles are gathered at a table. Janelle, Madeline and Mitchell introduce themselves. Oh no, Joshua’s fallen asleep. 1, 2, 3, Wake Up Joshua! Joshua wakes up. Mitchell says it's a special day today; it's Dorothy the Dinosaur's birthday. She's turning five so let's have five claps for Dorothy. They all clap five times. Janelle says it's a surprise party so you be very careful not to tell her. We've got presents here. Mitchell says "Oh no!" and states he forgot to get Dorothy a present. He will get a hat and decorate it and he runs off.

Janelle says that we've got the presents, and our friend Lucy FixIt is helping us decorate. They greet Lucy, who says, "Hi everyone." So now the only thing they haven't thought about was the birthday cake. Joshua will make a cake, and he heads off. Madeline has the invitations, and hands ones to Janelle and Lucy. He says there's one for Captain Feathersword, one for Joshua and one for Mitchell.

Joshua arrives with the cake but Janelle says Dorothy is coming, so hide the cake and the presents. Janelle reminds everyone to not tell Dorothy about the surprise.

Dorothy arrives. She asks if they know what special day it is today? Joshua answers it's her birthday and everyone tells her Happy Birthday Dorothy. Dorothy thanks everyone, but then asks if they're going to give her a birthday party? Janelle replies oh, no, no, they aren't yet while the others make shushing gestures. Dorothy droops a little and says how sad. She's going to go to the garden and fall on the roses there. Janelle comforts her. Dorothy asks for a handkerchief. Janelle reaches in his pocket and pulls out a white handkerchief but as Dorothy takes it, the handkerchief is actually a string of handkerchiefs leading to a pair of underwear? Oops, Janelle takes back the handkerchiefs and quickly leaves.

Dorothy leaves. Janelle comes back, excited that they kept the secret. They notice someone coming; it's Captain Feathersword. Madeline gives Captain an invitation. Lucy shows Captain the decorations, the presents and the cake that Joshua baked. Janelle tells Captain not to eat any since it's for Dorothy.

As Lucy, Joshua and Janelle gather at the presents to look at the birthday card, Madeline asks the audience if they can tell him if Captain Feathersword tries to eat the birthday cake. What? He's eating the birthday cake. They look over at the cake, but Captain has hidden behind it. Lucy says he isn't eating it and they continue. Captain stands up with icing on his face and continues eating. Janelle asks, "Are you sure?" They have one more look and this time they catch Captain in the act. Madeline asks if he's eating Dorothy's birthday cake. Captain denies it but Greg points out the icing on his face. Captain says he won't eat anymore.

Janelle and the others will continue with the birthday card; she tells Captain see you at the party, but Captain goes back to the cake and then picks it up and takes the whole thing away and leaves. He's doing what? Oh no, the cake is gone. Did Captain take it? Oh, he did. Jason offers to make another one but it's too late; what to do? Lucy has an idea: Captain likes parties and music, so how about we start the party, and then he'll hear the music and bring the cake back? They call Dorothy inside.

Dorothy arrives and they say Surprise, it's your birthday party!

They sing Dorothy's Birthday Party.

* **Song 14**: Dorothy's Birthday Party

Captain Feathersword arrives during the song wearing a big cake on his head.

Captain remarks what a great party. Janelle asks where the cake is. Captain says he doesn't know. Janelle and everyone else says "Oh yes, you do." Captain replies, "Oh no, I don't." They reply, "Oh yes, you do." Captain replies quickly, Oh no, I don't." Lucy says that the cake is underneath the Captain's hat. Captain takes off his hat and indeed the cake is there. He places it on the table. Captain says he needs to get back to his ship to mop the deck, hoist the mainsail and all that pirate stuff. He wishes Dorothy happy birthday and says goodbye. It's time for them to open the presents. Joshua got Dorothy a picture book. Madeline gives Dorothy a necklace. Mitchell arrives with a food plate that he decorated. Dorothy thanks everyone and Janelle thanks everyone after that. Everyone waves goodbye.

The Wiggles and the others are falling asleep and Joshua tries to wake them up, Jason said, "They always do this". But it doesn't matter. But it is always Joshua that falls asleep, isn't that right?

In the end credits,"Fruit Salad" plays as the closing music.
