Gordon uses one of Percy’s fancy bug-catching devises to rid his vegetable patch of bugs. But the bugs object and call an emergency meeting to negotiate a new nibbling agreement. With a little hat magic, Gordon shrinks down to bug-size to meet them face-to-face. Ian goes along as part of his education but he disappears when the meeting gets a bit boring. Gordon has to keep the bugs happy and find Ian, before the Chief Gnome returns to collect his nephew.
