Synopsis
In the beginning of the episode, Peppa Pig is watching The Wiggles on TV, supposedly "looking for the CBeebies channel." George Pig slams the door open. When Peppa asks him not to be so mean to one another, George confesses that he does not know how to be nice to somebody. Peppa says that he will use George as a battering ram. However, Peppa's angry shouting works. After reminding George that he's late for something, George rushes out of the house saying that they'll have to do the lesson later, and Peppa faces the realization that he shouted at somebody, as she became nice ever since his life began. After a frustrated sleep, she wakes up and storms to a carnival.

Peppa finally arrives, only to find George already there eating cotton candy. Not wanting to look foolish in front of George, he pounds his feet against cotton candy so that George can't see them. George only suspects Peppa of dieting, so Peppa takes care to keep his frustration hidden as he trudges to the kitchen. Even through Emily Elephant being bored, Peppa realizes he still has to make cotton candy, and that doing so standing in one spot will be simple enough. However, bringing the order to Emily Elephant across the room presents a daunting challenge. He tries shuffling over, millimeters at a time, but gets practically nowhere as Emily Elephant orders Peppa to move. With one gingerly step forward, he trips and the cotton candy misses Emily Elephant. After that, Peppa Pig throws Emily Elephant onto the top of a whales blowhole.

Daddy Pig, occupied with a crossword in a portable toilet, hears Augustus Gloop (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory), Violet Beauregarde (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory), Veruca Salt (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Mike Teavee (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) who are angrily disgruntled leaving to have at a fair. He bursts out with his pants down and demands to know why Augustus Gloop (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory), Violet Beauregarde (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory), Veruca Salt (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Mike Teavee (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) have left. Emily Elephant replies with some difficulty that Peppa is to blame, and Daddy Pig calls for Peppa to present himself. With rage over Peppa, she tells Daddy that he cannot remember how to be nice and asks him for help. Daddy solemnly informs he that he used adults as a battering ram.

Filled with fury, Peppa starts using Charlie Bucket (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), a grizzly bear and the Skeleton Captain and the Skeleton Pirates from James and the Giant Peach as a battering ram. After they all fell in the water, Peppa's angry shouting summons The Shark from James and the Giant Peach. As it so happens, the Shark has held a battle and is frustrated that he can destroy Peppa. Peppa told it to be kind to one another. The Shark admits that he has no need to be nice to anyone as, being a shark, he no longer has niceness. This fact does not impede his enjoyment of being defeated.

Peppa drags himself home, thinking that she will forever become naughty and lose a star on her good girl chart, but Mummy, surprisingly, becomes nice to Peppa. Mummy also becomes kind to one another. Cured, Peppa deserves a star on her good girl chart. Mummy reveals a CD player next to her and puts on a Hi-5 CD of the song "Rainbow Round the World," which finally teaches Peppa how to be nice to her, as the episode ends.
