Plot:

The story begins with in the South Pole in the year 1957, Bill Barnacle, his first mate Sam Sawnoff and crewman Buncle are shipwrecked in the south pole. After Bill stops a starving Buncle from eating Sam, the iceberg cracks and produces Albert, a rude, everlasting magic pudding who demands that they continue to eat him. Buncle runs off with the pudding and claims it as his own, but the ice breaks and he falls into the sea. Bill and Sam manage to rescue the pudding, and after briefly mourning the apparent loss of Buncle, choose to protect it from thievery.

Ten years later in 1967 in Greenpatch, Blinky Bill with his friends include his twin sister Kerry, his best friends Skippy, Flap, Splodge, Curly, Myrtle and Marcia, his girlfriend Nutsy, and his cousin Gumley. They on the adventure.

A young koala named Bunyip Bluegum discovers that he is not an orphan and sets out on a quest to find his parents, Meg and Tom Bluegum. Blinky, Skippy, the gang, Bill and Sam agree to help Bunyip after the latter stops an attempt by the pudding thieves to steal Albert. After Albert runs off, Bunyip tries to ask a bandicoot with a watermelon for help. Initially avoiding the question the Bandicoot tells Bunyip that the only one not afraid to reveal the answer is the frog on the log.

As Blinky, Skippy and the others set out to find the frog on the log, Buncle is revealed to be alive and living underground with slaves, including Bunyip's parents bringing him food while he waits for the pudding thieves (his nephew Watkin and his friend Patrick O'Possum) to bring him Albert. After foiling another attempt by the thieves Bunuyip falls into a creek where he dreams/hallucintes about his parents, before meeting the frog on the log. The frog tells him to solve a riddle to find the place where they were last seen. "Where two gums meet, yet stand alone, there's plenty of water, but dry as a bone". The pudding thieves finally succeed in stealing Albert by starting a fire as a distraction, but the pudding owners find their house with help from, and Bunyip lures them outside before escaping with in the ensuring fight. Later, as Albert mocks him, Bunyip loses his temper and kicks Albert into two interwoven trees. Realising they've solved the riddle and the found the right place, two gum trees overlooking a valley with a dam the feeds water into Tiralu. As the pudding owners head to the town the thieves open the dam before heading after them. The water floods the town, but Bunyip uses Albert to fill sacks and make a dam. The grateful residents celebrate, but when Bunyip explains his quest the townspeople take them to the entrance of Buncle's underground lair, saying no one ever comes out. Bunyip is ready to give up but Albert slides down inside in his bowl, followed by Blinky, Skippy, Flap, Bunyip, Bill and Sam. Inside Buncle is berating the thieves when Albert bounces into his lap. Buncle has the thieves thrown in with the slaves before celebrating the capture of the pudding.

The puddin owners arrive and Blinky, Skippy, Flap, Bunyip and Bill free the slaves while Sam distracts Bunicle by dressing as a woman. As Bunicle tries to eat Albert, Bunyip demands Albert for a double serving, intending to give Buncle the double. As Albert splits, his good and evil half fight, quickly growing bigger until breaking out of the cavern. Buncle then asks for 'all the puddin's in the world' before falling into one of the Albert's mouths to be spat far away. Albert splits into millions of puddings before turning back to normal and falling back into his bowl. Assuming he's dead, Bill starts to cry which revives Albert. Later, Bill and Sam are living in Greenpatch with Blinky, Skippy, the gang, the Bluegums, the gang's parents, Wombo, Rumpcus and Wattleby, as the two pudding thieves try to get Albert for themselves, only for the pudding owners to confront them.
