Extended Summary

Alf talks to Grant about the fact that Alf got arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Alf is worried that he might loose his driving licence. And he is surprised that he was over the limit since he only had some beer earlier.

Ben is having some problems about where to keep the chickens. Pippa lets him have them in the laundry room for the night. Sally comes home and notices the chickens. She thinks they are funny. Dag Dog barks at them.

Grant offers to do some deliveries for Alf since Alf can’t do them for being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Maz phones due to a delay with the deliveries. Alf doesn’t tell her that he was caught for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Sophie and Sally tell Carly in the Diner about the chickens.

At night, Dag Dog barks at the chickens and chases them in the house. Carly wakes Ben up in his caravan and he goes inside the house. Sally and Pippa are up and try to catch the chickens and they also tries to get Dag Dog to stop barking! Ben has to take the chickens out to an empty caravan in the middle of the night due to the chaos in Pippa’s house!

At the morning, Grant speaks to Jane in the Caravan Park. He thinks that she might be overdoing her job as police. He mean that she would be better off with using some common sense instead of doing everything by the rulebook since Alf was barely over the limit. They argue about it a bit.

Sally goes to the caravan to feed the chickens. She notices that there is an awful smell inside the caravan and she opens a window. Then she notices that one of the chickens has laid an egg. She is in a hurry to show her family so she forgets to close the window! Sally shows the egg to Pippa, Sophie, Carly and Ben.

Bobby is starting to think that the political campaign is getting very boring and she is tired of it. She thinks that it would actually be better if Alf was the leader of their campaign instead of her.

Jane comes into Alf’s store and he is angry with her. She tries to convince him she was only doing her job.

Ben has built an enclosure for the chickens. When he goes to the caravan to collect the chickens, he notices that they are gone! They have escaped through the window that Sally left open by mistake. (Happy music plays)

And Ben (by accident) sits on an egg and the egg breaks with a big splash and messes up his shorts!

Bobby talks to Alf about how boring she think the political campaign is and also all the debates. Alf tell her that’s just the way it is. Alf tell Bobby that he has withdrawn from the campaign so Bobby will have to run it by herself! She is worried about it.

Sophie, Carly and Pippa notice that Ben is looking for the escaped chickens near the caravan. He explains all about it. Sally says that it’s her fault since she forgot to close the window. She is upset about it. Pippa talks to her and say it’s ok. Ben and Sophie look around for the chickens.

Dag Dog barks inside the kitchen. Pippa and Sally found one of the chickens in the kitchen. Sally reckons that Dag Dog is good at tracking down the chickens. She takes him outside and Dag Dog find the chickens under the caravan. There’s a bit of a panic situation before they get all the chickens caught since Dag Dog runs around after them! (Pretty funny scene)

Grant talks to Alf after he heard that Alf is pulling out of the campaign. Alf did it because of the bad reputation there probably will be going around of him as a drunk driver. Grant thinks that he should stay in the campaign. Alf is determined not to be in the campaign anymore.
