Bluey and Bingo run into the living room and ask Chilli to play zoo with them. Bingo is playing Snowdrop the toddler and Bluey is the zookeeper. Bandit says he’s going to lie on the couch and read the paper but Bluey has other plans for him.
Chilli (playing Snowdrop’s mum Lady Gaberdine) and Snowdrop are welcomed by the zookeeper. The zookeeper leads them on a personal tour of the facility.
After the giraffe and kangaroo exhibits, the zookeeper shows them the baboon enclosure. Bandit, still sitting and reading the newspaper, makes a half-hearted baboon noise. Lady Gaberdine is disappointed, hoping to see more movement. Baboon!Bandit blows a raspberry at her. Bluey yells at him to get up and pokes him with a pool noodle. Baboon!Bandit steals the noodle and scratches his behind with it, offending Lady Gaberdine.
Bluey gives up and decides to show them the kookaburras instead. Snowdrop stays behind to give Baboon!Bandit her banana. She crawls inside the cage, startling Baboon!Bandit. Lady Gaberdine notices Snowdrop is missing and screams, finding her inside the cage with Baboon!Bandit.
Bluey gets the hose and sprays Baboon!Bandit, prompting him to escape his cage by leaping over the fence. Lady Gaberdine demands the zookeeper to rescue her child at once. Bluey hops in her pedal car and gives chase.
Bandit bounds up the stairs and hides in the pantry. Snowdrop offers the baboon a cookie which he accepts and the two bond. Meanwhile in the playroom, Lady Gaberdine and the zookeeper make a trap to catch the escaped baboon - a banana hanging from a rope.
Baboon Bandit goes for the banana but Snowdrop yells at him to watch out. Bluey throws a blanket over Bandit and captures him. Snowdrop, now safe, is taken away by Lady Gaberdine. Snowdrop is sad that she has been separated from the baboon; the zookeeper realizes this.
Later that night, Lady Gaberdine tucks a despondent Snowdrop into bed. After she leaves, the zookeeper opens the window and says Snowdrop has a visitor. She calls the baboon in, and Bandit climbs through the window. He and Snowdrop share a hug.
