Plot[]
Mr. Clever, Mr. Jelly and Little Miss Fun are on a camping trip in a cabin. While they are talking Mr. Jelly remembers Mr. Brave and Mr. Bump on a plane, Mr. Bump jumped out, but forgot his parachute, but Mr. Brave saves him. Mr. Clever makes a bet to see if she and Mr. Jelly can go parachuting. Mr. Clever soon thinks he made a bad bet and gets worried that he'll do the same Mr. Bump did. Little Miss Fun and Mr. Jelly set up the tent, and Mr. Clever argues with Little Miss Fun saying they'll get scared of the dark. Mr. Jelly and Little Miss Fun sleep in the tent, there is a ghost outside. Mr. Jelly woke up scared, he wakes up Little Miss Fun, telling her there is a ghost, but Little Miss Fun knows it's not a ghost. The faker ghost (Mr. Clever) takes off the sheet and pretends to be a werewolf, but Little Miss Fun grabs his leg and finds out it's Mr. Clever, again! Mr. Clever went to bed and had a nightmare that he was Mr. Bump, and Little Miss Fun was Mr. Brave, but Mr. Clever crashed. A loud gong is heard, and it wakes up Mr. Jelly, making him think that there's a storm, but Little Miss Fun tells Mr. Jelly it's just Mr. Clever again. Then, Mr. Jelly struggles to sleep when no noise is heard and ends up knocking down the tent when he feels something inside his sleeping bag.
Mr. Clever wakes up the next morning and looks out the window and the tent was gone along with Mr. Jelly and Little Miss Fun. Mr. Clever thinks they were scared and thinks he won the bet. Mr. Clever looks in their rooms, but they are not there, he heads downstairs and sees the tent in the living room. Apparently, Little Miss Fun and Mr. Jelly found a loophole in the bet; Mr. Clever told them that they must sleep in the tent all night but he didn't specify that they had to sleep outside. Mr. Clever screams so loud that Mr. Jelly and Little Miss Fun pop out. Little Miss Fun then says, "Ready for your parachute jump, Mr. Clever?" and Mr. Jelly and Little Miss Fun share a laugh.
