On a Friday the 13th, Paddington begins to believe in bad luck and tries to prevent everyone else from getting it. Ironically he is a bringer of bad luck himself in some ways.

Paddington unknowingly starts a new gold rush when he finds a nugget while panning for gold. It turns out the nugget is the gold tooth that fell out of Mr. Gruber's mouth, but when the truth is discovered, gold fever is out of control.
