Mopatop's Shop | |
Written by | Jocelyn Stevenson |
Director | Dirk Campbell |

Mopatop opens the episode by offering some dungarees, pads for elephants' knees or some cheese that says please.
Bossy Boots enters the shop commanding everyone in the shop to get on their feet and dance. Mopatop is unsure what's going on, until Bossy Boots says that he wants a Do-What-I-Say. Puppyduck does not know what it is, but Mopatop is sure they have one somewhere in the shop. After he found it he demonstrates what it can do as he commands Puppyduck to make a funny noise, which she does. Moosey Mouse puts on some earmuffs to be sure that he does not hear Bossy Boots after he has the Do-What-I-Say. Bossy Boots then sings a song where he commands Puppyduck and Mopatop to do what he says.
When the song is over, Bossy Boots commands them not to move, then goes towards the door mumbling "do what I say". On the way to the door he encounters Moosey, who is still wearing the earmuffs, and tells Bossy that he can't leave until he has told Mopatop and Puppyduck to move again. He then moves forward saying, "Will you do it or do I have to do it for you?" Bossy backs away from Moosey while he says that Moosey can't try his Do-What-I-Say, and he falls over and breaks the Do-What-I-Say. Bossy wants Mopatop to give him a new one, but Mopatop and Puppyduck are stuck doing what Bossy said last, and since the Do-What-I-Say is broken he can't command them to move. Just then Father Mouse asks Moosey to bring his earmuffs back and Moosey does so. Bossy can't understand why Moosey is doing what his dad told him to instead of helping Bossy. Moosey tells Bossy that his dad said please. Then the cheese that says please appears behind the little door and Bossy is fascinated with the word "please". He then tries the word on Mopatop and Puppyduck and they are able to move again. Instead of having a new Do-What-I-Say, Bossy Boots would like the cheese.
