Plot[]
A cab stops by Bean's house and an obese man approaches the front door. He plays with the doorbell, annoying Bean as he goes down the stairs. Bean opens the door and man reveals himself then he wears a cap; he introduces himself as Harry but Bean doesn't remember him. Bean looks at Harry's two large briefcases that he struggles bringing upstairs. Inside Bean's kitchen, he sees Harry eating a chicken drumstick and a leek. He then eats Bean's cake. Bean digs in his closet and find a cap similar to Harry's. Harry shows Bean their class picture and points at Bean as a kid. Then Harry points to himself as a kid. Bean now remembers Harry as his childhood classmate. Harry tells Bean a language they used as a kid, and Bean remembers it. Bean asks Harry if his name his Fred to which Harry corrects him that it's Harry. Harry goes to the couch and asks Bean if he can get fruit to which Bean says yes. Harry then gets a peach and an apple to which he eats both simultaneously, annoying Bean. Unfortunately for Bean, Harry is a gluttonous guy who loves to eat too much. Bean removes his cap just as Harry eats the grapes while watching T.V.
That night Bean goes to the fridge to get some food only to realize Harry ate all the food, annoying Bean even further. Bean goes to the couch and changes the channel but Harry changes it back, which makes Bean angry. Bean spots the last chicken drumstick so he tries to get it but Harry eats it and puts the bone back. Bean bites the bone by mistake, hurting his teeth in the process. Bean is waiting for Harry in the bathroom who is taking too long. Inside the bathroom, Harry is singing while brushing his teeth, which also wakes Bean up. Harry finishes using the bathroom so it's Bean's turn. Bean and Harry are sleeping and Harry sleepwalks when the clock strikes 12 A.M., looking for food; Bean wakes up and sees Harry looking for food while sleepwalking. Harry goes to Bean's bed and hugs Teddy, annoying Bean yet again.
The next day, Bean is now sleeping on the floor and sees Teddy about to be crushed by Harry so Bean catches him. Harry wakes up and goes to the bathroom but Bean goes in front of him and goes inside. After Bean finishes brushing his teeth, he dips Harry's toothbrush into the toilet. Bean exits the bathroom and lets Harry inside, while Bean snickers mischievously. Bean and Harry now leave Bean's house, getting stuck when they simultaneously reach the front gate. An ice cream truck stops by and Harry orders two but can't find his money. When the ice cream man gives Bean the two ice creams, Harry tells Bean to pay because he doesn't have money. So Bean gives Harry the two ice creams and pays; only to realize Harry ate both ice creams, so Bean furiously leaves. When Bean isn't looking Harry pays the ice cream man to get more ice cream, implying that he lied to Bean that he didn't have any money just so he can take Bean's ice cream for himself.
In the grocery store, Bean looks at his list and gets a jar; only to see that Harry has placed an enormous amount of food on the cart; causing Bean to scream in fury. At home in the night, Harry is sleeping on Bean's bed and the room is filled with used plates; Bean is still awake and sitting on his chair, furious at Harry's constant eating and mooching off him. Bean, finally having had enough of Harry, calls the taxi. He brings Harry's luggages attached to a long rope outside. The cab driver asks Bean where to go and Bean says two minutes. The clock strikes 12 A.M. and Harry sleepwalks once again, looking for food. He smells a chicken that is attached to a rope that Bean pulls to lure him to the cab outside. Harry wakes up to see that he's in the cab; he shows Bean Teddy just as the screen irises out. But, wait! Not the end! The screen irises back in when Bean sees his teddy with Harry. So Bean runs to his car, not noticing Scrapper is sleeping on top of it. When Bean drives off, Scrapper falls to the ground. Bean pursues the cab; when the cab crosses the roundabout, Bean crosses the wrong way, causing the police to blow his whistle.
The cab stops and Harry pays the driver. Bean parks his car and calls Harry 'Fred' again to which Harry corrects him again. Bean tries to apologize to Harry for kicking him out but he hypocritically won't forgive him even though it was Harry’s own fault for selfishly taking advantage of Bean’s hospitality during his stay. Bean spots the restaurant near, so he lets Harry eat there to get Teddy back and to punish Harry for his selfishness and gluttony. Bean approaches the owner but the owner won't let them in because they're closed. But he lets them in when he sees Bean holding £60. The owner lets Bean and Harry sit on a big table and gives them the menu. As expected, Harry orders everything in the menu, shocking the owner. So the waiter and chef serve Harry with everything he ordered on the menu, from dinner to dessert. When Harry is done eating, Bean goes to the restroom. The owner shows Harry the large bill, shocking him; he tells the owner Bean will be paying. Inside the restroom, Bean sneaks out of the window in the cubicle, flushing the toilet in the process. It's 2:08 A.M. and they're still waiting for Bean. The waiter tells the owner Bean is gone so the owner tells Harry to go to the kitchen to do the dishes as payment. While Harry is doing the large amount of dishes, the owner and the chef are watching him; the chef is holding a rolling pin. Bean then takes the teddy back from Harry's coat. Harry, confused, looks at his coat to see Teddy gone. Bean then blows one final raspberry at Harry.
