When Pettson sets out to make Findus a cake, he finds that he's missing a key ingredient. This begins a hilarious chain of events - before Pettson can ride his bike to the store, he needs to fix his flat tire; before he can fix his flat tire...he needs to do many other things, including distract his neighbor's feisty bull! Will Findus get his birthday cake? Will Pettson's neighbors forever think he's crazy?

When Findus finds a tent in the attic, Pettson starts imagining what it would be like to go hiking by the lake and to cook on the grill as the sun is setting. But when the hens want to join in the fun too...things turn out very differently than what Pettson had in mind.

Unable to continue with Christmas preparations because of his injured foot, old man Festus and his cat Mercury face a bleak Christmas until the neighbors come to the rescue.

Festus and his cat Mercury come up with elaborate methods to protect their garden from chickens, pigs, and cows.
