Irma is coming for dinner, but Mr. Bean has forgotten about it and so doesn't have anything to cook. He goes to a superstore to buy food, and finds there a pie-eating contest: whoever can eat a whole pie more quickly than the maker of the pies will win his shopping for free. After several attempts, Bean eventually wins by sneakily adding strong chilli sauce to the maker's pie. However, when Bean returns home, Irma is furious with him for taking so long.
