## Plot

Early one morning, Andy Pandy is looking for his socks. He finds lots of things and then just one very big sock. At last, Andy finds another pair of socks so now he can finish getting dressed. When he is dressed, Andy wonders what he is going to do with the odd sock, he knows only one sock is no good to anyone so he might as well throw it away. Andy is about to put the sock in the bin when he has an idea, he goes to Looby Loo's house taking the sock with him and asks Looby if she has a needle and thread. The sock doesn't look to Looby as if it needs mending, Andy says that it doesn't and explains to Looby what she wants her to do.

Looby is sewing some buttons onto Andy's sock and when she finishes doing that, the sock is now a puppet. There are three buttons on the sock puppet, two for eyes and one for a nose. Andy and Looby both think the puppet looks very funny and Andy decides to show his new puppet to Teddy, but decides to give him a surprise as well. Andy goes back to his house, finds a cardboard box and cuts a hole in it with some scissors. Teddy is coming round to Andy's house to play and when he sees Andy coming out of his house with the box in his hand, he wonders what is inside. Andy tells Teddy he can have a look inside the box, Teddy is about to open the box when the puppet pops up from it and surprises him. Teddy wants to know who Andy's new friend is and Andy shows him the puppet that he and Looby have made, Teddy asks if he can play with it so Andy gives it to him.

Teddy wants to surprise someone with the puppet just like Andy had surprised him, he thinks Missy Hissy is still asleep in her pipes and can surprise her so Teddy puts the puppet into one of the pipes but he doesn't know that Missy Hissy is actually away to visit Bilbo. When Teddy takes his hand out of the pipe, the puppet is no longer on it. Teddy thinks he'd better go and make another puppet to replace the one he has just lost. Missy Hissy is coming home again and sees Teddy rushing past her wondering why he is in such a hurry. When Missy Hissy goes into her pipes, she sees something that wasn't in her pipes before and goes to find help.

Andy is looking after his garden when Missy Hissy arrives and tells him that there is someone in her pipes and she doesn't know what to do so Andy agrees to help. When Andy and Missy Hissy arrive at the pipes, Andy calls inside to tell the intruder to come out, but it doesn't. Andy thinks the intruder must have gone if it didn't answer so Missy Hissy goes into the pipes to check, but she comes straight back out because the intruder is still inside the pipes.

Then Teddy arrives with a sock puppet which he has made - but it's not as good as the other one - and explains to Andy he has lost his puppet but has made another one to replace it. Andy says to Teddy they've got more important things to think about than puppets and an intruder is inside Missy Hissy's pipes. Then Teddy starts laughing and Andy tells him it's not funny, Missy Hissy is quite upset but Teddy says her visitor is no one to be frightened of and explains it is Andy's puppet inside the pipes. Missy Hissy goes into the pipes and comes out with Andy's puppet, she is relieved that there no intruders in her pipes. Teddy apologises to Missy Hissy for frightening her and she quickly forgives him, then she watches as Andy and Teddy play with their new puppets.
