[edit] 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 simultaneouly committing similar types of offences, and it is interesting to find that all of the people involved are contestants in the "Nicest Person in the World" competition.

The Goodies investigate and find that a myterious Dr. Petal is behind the occurrences.

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?
