The hairdresser

In this episode, Mr. Bean goes to a barbershop. While waiting his turn, he chooses Prince Charles's hairstyle from a calendar as his model. Very quickly, the barber, Derek, leaves his station to answer the phone. Bean, unable to sit still for more than five minutes, grows impatient. He decides to mimic the barber's movements on an invisible model. (Impatient)

That's when a mother and her child, Jamie, walk into the salon, thinking Bean is the professional. He starts by giving Jamie a crude bowl cut, much to her surprise. Bean then takes out the clippers, and disaster strikes. He shaves a large bald patch in the middle of the boy's head, which this time delights him! The boy leaves with his cap firmly on, and the mother doesn't notice a thing. (Catastrophic)

Seeing that he's making easy money and that the real hairdresser has gone back to answering the phone, Mr. Bean goes to take care of another man with long hair. After mocking his hairstyle, he wreaks havoc again: he cuts off his ponytail! So that he won't notice, Mr. Bean sticks a picture of a man with a ponytail on the mirror! (Mocking, ingenious, and disastrous)

Clearly very busy, his next client is an older man and makes yet another blunder. The man's toupee gets caught in the clippers! He won't notice anything because he's visually impaired! (Catastrophic)

As Derek finally returns to the salon, Jamie's mother and the two other customers cause a scene because of the supposed assistant's shoddy work. The hairdresser is confused and doesn't understand the situation. Discreetly, Mr. Bean leaves the salon, hiding his head with Prince Charles's calendar! The visually impaired customer even curtsies to him, thinking he's meeting the real Royal! (Genius)

The school fair

Mr. Bean goes to an animal-themed fair. After parking, he leaves the window open so Teddy can breathe and pretends to pay the entrance fee! (Childish, cheap)

He won't stop cheating at games and violently attacking the headmaster, throwing sponges and then tin cans at him! He then enters a children's dog training competition. Bean's dog is none other than… Teddy! With the children's support, Teddy wins this strange competition, much to the disgust of the organizer. (Cheater)

Mr. Bean throws his reward, a huge bone, which causes a riot with the children's dogs. Bean tiptoes away. (Disruptive, cowardly)

The final

At St. Pancras station, Mr. Bean can't find his ticket. He'll try everything to get through without paying. But the ticket inspector is watching. (Cheapskate)

Bean then hides in a mailbag. After passing through the barrier, two officers reverse its direction. Thinking he's on the right side, Mr. Bean actually finds himself back at the starting point and, not knowing where he's going, takes a big leap onto the tracks. (Clever, unfortunate)

Badly injured, and still in the bag, he lets himself be transported by the mail service. Unbeknownst to him, he finds himself on a freight train bound for Moscow. (Unlucky)

It is on this grand journey that The Crazy Adventures of Mr. Bean come to an end.
