## Plot

Andy Pandy is in his house with Looby Loo, he has found an old telescope in his special cupboard. Andy wants to wait until nighttime and look at the moon through the telescope just in case they might see a man walking on the moon. On his way to visit Andy, Teddy has seen a very big cardboard box outside Bilbo's house. It is dark inside the box and Teddy can't see anything, he pushes a long way into the box and he still can't see anything, but he won't give up and has one last try at pushing. But unfortunately, Teddy is now stuck and he can't get out of the box. Teddy gets back onto his feet but now he can't see where he is going.

Missy Hissy is at the top of the pipes looking around when she sees a large box walking past her house, Missy Hissy has never seen a walking box before so she follows the box. Teddy doesn't know he has walked onto the green, Missy Hissy is following him and that he is walking around in circles. Teddy soon feels dizzy and stops for a rest. Missy Hissy bravely creeps closer and closer to the box which all of a sudden starts walking straight at her. Missy Hissy wants help so she asks Orbie the ball how to get away from the walking box. Teddy wants help too, he wants to get out of the box. Orbie doesn't know it is Teddy's voice and wants to get away before the walking box walks into him, but wherever Orbie bounces the box follows him. They make so much noise that Tiffo the dog wants to know what is going on, he starts barking and Teddy hears him and thinks he might help him.

Andy and Looby come to see what's happening and when Andy sees the walking box, he thinks it's a man from the moon who's come to visit them. Andy asks the man from the moon home for tea and he and Looby invite him into Andy's house, but the man from the moon can't get through the front door. Andy and Looby don't know whether to pull the man from the moon into the house or push him out. Looby thinks they should push the man from the moon out so she and Andy do that and the man from the moon pops out of the front door and topples over.

Andy watches the man from the moon and sees something very strange - the man from the moon has left footprints which look just like Teddy's. Missy Hissy wants to know if the man from the moon's feet look like Teddy's paws and Looby thinks that if they do, he might just as hungry as Teddy so she goes to fetch a cake she has just baked. Teddy can't wait to taste the cake. Bilbo arrives and asks Andy if he has seen a large cardboard box he had brought home but Andy says he has been far too busy with the man from the moon visiting. Missy Hissy tries to see the man from the moon's feet but she looks a bit too closely and they both fall over.

When Andy sees the man from the moon's feet, he realises what has happened and pulls Teddy out of the box. Teddy is thrilled he has finally got out of the box and so is Bilbo, it is the very box where he wants to keep his maps and charts. Looby comes out of her house carrying the cake and when she offers a slice to Bilbo, he decides he'll wait until the next day before he puts the maps and charts in the box. That night, Andy, Teddy and Looby look at the moon through the telescope, but they don't see a man from the moon and they don't even see a walking box.
