It’s another exciting day for the friends Pal, the border collie, and the piglets Pickle and Patsy. The newcomers have now happily settled into their new home in Harmony Haven, a secret place on the Isle of Wight. For today the friends will attend the serious ‘Ceremony of Vows’ where they, in front of everyone, will promise to be kind and caring to all of the members of this happy community.

In charge of this ceremony is their loving guardian Oliver Gruffle with his amazing alien special powers. But with him is Obie Owl, the ‘Keeper of the Vows’, who is a very rude owl indeed. But will the ceremony be serious when Obie turns up with a fan of peacock feathers attached to his rear end.

Further mayhem occurs when the magical cat Ben McRadich arrives, declaring himself to be a hero. He has captured the wanted mole and wants to claim the reward for this. But the real hero of this adventure is Hercules, the little robot boy, who is the one who captured the mole. Arriving on a cannon, if Ben does not tell the truth he intends to fire him into the air. But will Oliver Gruffle allow this?

Later, the friends meet Peter Pixie, who also has a reputation for being mischievous. Oliver decides to take the four friends on an adventure to the sorting office, where letters go before being sent to Father Christmas. Will Oliver regret this decision? He just might!
