Geoffrey, Bungle, Zippy and George are in the garden. To protect himself from the sun, Geoffrey puts on some sun cream, Zippy wears some sunglasses to protect his eyes from the bright sunlight and George has an umbrella to keep the sun off him. Then Bungle puts his rain hat on to keep the sun off his head, but Zippy thinks he looks hilarious wearing a rain hat on a sunny day. Then it starts to rain and everyone goes indoors. They look at a book with lots of pictures of fire fighters and wonder why they wear special clothing such as helmets. Geoffrey explains that it is for protection. Rod, Jane and Freddy sing "Open Up Your Umbrella" and Bernie Clifton tells a story called "Ben The Clumsy Spaceman".
