The children make a paperbag puppet, named Datz, to be Ditz's brother. / Raisin concocts a scheme to scare the wits out of Rugby.

This series follows the adventures of a close-knit band of six toys: Balthazar, the battered old teddy bear; Rugby, the mischievous tiger; Ditz, the puzzled clown; Mew, the little blue cat toy; Hortense, the rocking horse; and Raisin, the tom-boy rag doll. The toys live in a world all children dream of visiting where their first best friends come to life.

Balthazar must face his greatest fear to rescue a friend. / To a toy, being plush is a state of mind.
