Plot summary

Gena the Crocodile comes back by plane from far away (possibly I made up missed and I sought to compensate that took away from them in the previous episode). But the Cheburashka didn't meet Gena the Crocodile at the airport. On Shapoklyak Road plays Gena plates with an inscription "Repair". It appears, the Cheburashka doesn't own the diploma and couldn't read Gena's telegram. An exit one — it is necessary to go to school, especially as tomorrow just on September 1. Heroes go to buy a school uniform, Shapoklyak too seeks to begin new life. The school is closed on repair which can't be finished in any way. Having seen, than her jokes turned back, Shapoklyak stimulates workers who repair school. Problems with teachers Gena the Crocodile and Shapoklyak are solved together.
