Plot[]
The episode starts with Bean stopping by the ticket booth outside the safari park. Bean pays the ticket woman £1 but it's not enough and she shows him the price: £5 for 1 ticket and £8 for 2 tickets. Shocked, Bean reluctantly pays £5 to the ticket woman when he hears honking from behind. He tells the drivers he'll hurry up. The ticket woman gives Bean the map of the park and she raises the gate to which Bean enters the park.
In the park, Bean passes by giraffes and enters the lion enclosure. Bean sees a lion resting on the road; when Bean approaches the lion he honks his Mini to wake him up and to move out of Bean's way. The lion moves away when Bean pushes him with his Mini. Next, Bean enters the monkey enclosure. He sees the monkeys eating banana so Bean decides to eat snacks as well. He drinks tea and eats sandwich when a monkey goes to his Mini, asking for food from Bean. But Bean can't feed the monkey because there's a sign that says don't feed the animals. The monkey gets angry and breaks one of Bean's Mini's wipers. Bean pursues the monkey to get his wiper back. The monkey climbs the tree. Bean returns to his Mini, angry that one of his wipers is missing. He gets more food only to realize the monkeys took them.
Furious, Bean exits the monkey enclosure and returns to the lion enclosure where the lion once again sleeps on the road so Bean honks his Mini to make him move out of the way. Bean returns to the entrance, causing the Reliant to swerve and hit the bushes. Bean exits the safari park, angry at what just happened at the monkey enclosure. Bean then returns home when he hears the sound of a monkey. He looks at his rearview mirror and sees a monkey in the back of his Mini eating a banana. The monkey then runs to Bean's flat so Bean pursues it. The monkey climbs up the pipe to Bean's room. It spots a banana so it takes it, just as Bean arrives. Bean tells the monkey to give him his banana back which the monkey begrudgingly does so. The monkey cries because it's hungry so Bean decides to give his banana to the monkey but it's scared of him.
Bean then gives his banana to the monkey in which it eats it. He then plays with the monkey but he can't spin while jumping. Bean slips on the banana peel, and he accidentally spin jumps. The monkey grabs Bean's room with a glove attached on its rear. Bean takes it back and uses it to open his TV but it's too loud for the monkey so Bean lowers the volume. There's a breaking news where a monkey known as Binky has been stolen. Bean gets scared realizing that he can get arrested because Binky is with him. A nationwide search is now on to look for the kidnapper who took the monkey from its parents. Bean, not wanting to be falsely arrested, kicks Binky out. Wicket then comes out of her room, forcing Bean to hide Binky behind the flower pot. Wicket asks Bean if he's aware of the stolen monkey. Binky is making sounds so Bean covers his sounds by making sounds of his own. Bean lies to Wicket that he's not aware of the stolen monkey.
When Wicket goes back to her room, Bean places Binky in his Mini. Back outside the safari park, the police stop an exiting customer so they can inspect his car; he's cleared so the police lets him pass. Bean gives Binky a banana to keep him quiet; the police feels suspicious about Bean. So they tell Bean to exit his Mini so they can inspect it. Bean wears Binky like the backpack that looks like him while the police search his Mini. Once the search is complete, Bean and Binky return to his Mini and pays for the ticket so he can reenter the park. Bean passes by the lion enclosure where he honks his Mini just to taunt the lion. Then Bean returns to the monkey enclosure and brings Binky back. Binky's parents are happy Binky is finally reunited with them. Bean leaves the monkey enclosure when Binky shows Bean his Mini's wiper so he exits his Mini to get it. But, as he is at the lion enclosure, Bean tries to be careful to make sure the lion he angered doesn't see him. Bean gets his wiper back from Binky. Bean reattaches his wiper and he enters his Mini only to realize the lion went inside, scaring him.
