## Plot

### Kindergarten

Kids make a collage out of paper clothes and different things, including cutting out green legs.

### Wigglehouse

the episode starts off with Murray serving peas on the Wiggles' plates one at a time. Greg asks Murray if he can hurry up because he's very hungry. Murray responds that Anthony hasn't arrived yet, then Greg tells him that since Anthony eats so much, the others never get enough to eat and that this is an opportunity for the Professional Wiggles to have a good meal without Anthony eating it all. Murray then asks what Anthony is doing and Jeff answers with watching a television show about his favourite superhero. Anthony is imitating the moves Foodman is making on TV (not shown in episode). Anthony then wonders how great it would be to be a superhero like Apple Boy or Fruit Salad Man. He loves food! That's it! He's Foodman! Anthony later returns to the table and starts acting like a superhero. Starting off with calling the other Wiggles "citizens", then he praises Murray's choice of serving peas and Murray, sounding confused, thanks him. Greg then asks him what's up and he goes to a spot in Wigglehouse, spins around a few times, and ends up in a superhero costume and replies "I'm Foodman!" and the others reply with "Foodman?" Then Anthony recites the Food Pledge, "That's right Foodman. Able to eat tall sandwiches with a single bite, faster to the table than a speeding train, I am Foodman, the hungry hero!"

We later come back to the scene where Murray is serving peas (just like before) and Foodman comes in and takes a piece of bread that was on Jeff's plate and gives some positive features and gives permission to serve it. Then Dorothy comes in carrying a cake and greets the Wiggles. Foodman asks her what she has, and she replies with "It's a special cake. Yummy for my tummy Anthony, Yummy for my tummy!" Anthony then asks her if she was planning to eat the whole thing and then he cuts only a small slice for her leaving Dorothy a little sad saying, "If you say so". Foodman later comes back to the table, Jeff falls asleep, and Greg finally replies that he's not hungry anymore and that the food is already cold. Foodman then suggest heating the food up. Murray loses track of counting and has to start again like he did in the beginning and Greg rushes to his room with Murray coming after him. Foodman, now free of anyone in the room starts eating the cake and then he enters a dream surrounded by food then the real Foodman replies that he eats sensibly, and that Anthony will get a stomachache from eating the cake. Anthony replies that his stomach does hurt, then gets woken up by the others who tell him he was having a bad dream. Anthony then says it was a terrible dream and made his tummy hurt then Greg replies it wasn't his dream that upset his stomach. Then Anthony says he ate the cake so Dorothy wouldn't have tendency to eat too much, and Greg then tells him he ate the entire cake and that he isn't really a superhero. Then Anthony decides that it's not a good idea to eat too much, then he asks Dorothy about the type of cake she made, and she replies with "Rose Petal Cream Cake!" and Anthony gets surprised and asks if the cake was made of roses and Dorothy replies with "My favourite food!" which leaves Anthony moaning while Dorothy and the other Wiggles laugh

### Henry the Octopus

### Captain Feathersword's Pirate Show

Captain Feathersword tries to set the pirate cartwheel record when a storm arrives. The howling winds make his voice high pitched. Wags uses a fan to return Captain's voice to normal, but then the storm comes back. This time, Captain hides behind Wags so the wind can't change his voice again. It works, and the storm heads out to sea. Captain continues trying to set the record, but he accidentally cartwheels off the dock.

### Wiggly Chase Scene

The Tennis Ball Chase: The Wiggles are playing tennis when the ball is thrown high into the air. Captain Feathersword comes by on his bike and catches the ball in his mouth. The Wiggles, Henry, Wags, Officer Beaples, and Dorothy chase after him.
