Plot
The Goodies are surprised because everyone is against them. When they go to the local police station, they are informed that they are 'Baddies'. Indeed, while they are in the police station, talking to the Police Sergeant, the Goodies are simultaneously committing offences all over England. When the Police Sergeant accuses the Goodies of the crimes and disruptions, they point out to him that it could not have been them because they were there with him when the offences happened. The Police Sergeant eventually agrees with them.
The Goodies are not the only 'nice' people involved in offences. Many other nice people are also simultaneously committing similar offences, and all of the people involved are contestants in the "Nicest Person in the World" competition.
The Goodies investigate and find that a mysterious Dr. Petal is behind the occurrences.
Dr. Petal commenting about his only friend, his pet vulture Lucretia: "She only stays with me because she knows I've left her something in me will." Curious, Bill asks him: "What have you left her?", to which Dr. Petal replies: "Me!"
Dr. Petal complains about his treatment from other people, saying: "I helped the Americans with their H-Bomb, I helped the Russians with their missiles, I helped the British with their biological warfare. Why I even help the Nazis! Now how generous can you get?"
Dr Petal then imprisons them in an alligator-sulphuric-acid-based death trap. The Goodies however, escape in an unexplained fashion. Dr Petal then imprisons them again in a bomb-poison-gas-based death trap. The bomb, however explodes, sending the Goodies flying towards the "Nicest Person in the World Competition"
So who will be crowned the "Nicest Person in the World" — and what will happen to the Goodies and the other 'nice' people in the competition?

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
