Mr. Bean's newly purchased ship-in-a-bottle gets inadvertently picked up by the milkman, resulting in Bean sneaking inside the milk factory in order to retrieve the bottle. Back at his flat, he decides to hang his bottle near his door, but it wakes up Mrs. Wicket and when she slams the door after shushing Bean, the bottle breaks. Fortunately, Bean is satisfied when he brings the broken ship pieces to his pet fish.
