Plot

Countertop

The story begins with Larry riding in on a unicycle and the letter asking Bob and Larry what the child should do with his gift. Larry says that he should use it for fame and fortune. Bob says the story will talk about it and away they go.

Lord of the Beans

The story opens up with Todo Baggypants (Junior Asparagus) meeting with Gandalf (Mr. Nezzar) as they are getting ready to go to Billboy Baggypants's (Archibald Asparagus) birthday party. At the party Billboy sings about how he's been everywhere, has everything, but is still missing something. He repeats this to Gandalf back at his house, and tells Gandalf that he's giving a bean to Todo while he leaves to find out what's missing from life.

When Todo comes to give Billboy a piece of cake, Gandalf explains that Billboy has left him this bean, a bean that can give him anything he wants. Todo wants to know what to use the bean for, and Gandalf tells him that he's assembled to a team to help. It includes Ear-a-Corn, Leg-o-Lamb, Grumpy Dwarf and another elf. This team starts off, and has amusing adventures climbing up a mountain, falling off of it, and meeting the Raspberry Forrest.

These trees were originally only supposed to speak by blowing raspberries, but they changed so that the leader actually says words. At the end of the conversation, because the group cannot stop laughing, they are imprisoned on top of a tree. Gandalf tries to get them down by jumping on an eagle, and they get down, but not on the bird.

They finally make it to the Blue Gate and have to solve a riddle. Todo ends up getting it right, and is the only one that can enter the gate because of his size. The rest find out that an army of sporks are off to get Toto, and they head toward the Red Gate.

Silly Songs with Elves

The Silly Song actually takes place in the story's world. Ear-a-Corn (Larry the Cucumber) dresses like Elvis and sings about his girl (which doesn't speak English per the Lord of the Rings). At the end, Leg-O-Lamb comes on the scene and takes off Ear-a-Corn's ears and chases him away telling us that Ear-a-Corn is an Elfish-Impersonator!

And We're Back...

Once in Side Todo meets Ahem (Mr. Lunt) who talks about how he used the bean to create a life of ease. Ahem takes Todo to the land of Woe. Meanwhile, the gang is attacked by sporks, but the other elf turns out to be a Keebler Elf and bakes cookies which the sporks love.

Scary Man tries to take the bean away from Todo, only to be stopped by Billboy who gives it back. Todo tosses the bean into a dry well and the land is healed by some grape soda that bursts from the well.
