Pixie and Molly have qualified for their Girl Guides' Airwoman's Badge, and are envied by the others in the class. The girls all decide to get their cooking badge next which will require them to go into the bush to catch a rabbit, kill it, skin it and finally prepare it for Miss Pittman. They think it will be an easy task, until they see how cute the bunnies are.

Hoping to join their friends on a Girl Guides camp out, Molly and Pixie take on odd jobs to earn the necessary money. But with only one week to accomplish their goal, their friends take an interest in their task. Louise even bets her new bangles, a rare gift from her father, against Myrtle's imported coloured pencils that they will succeed. While taking on any manner of task, the girls must also contend with the antics of Jimmy and Freddo, and Mrytle's scheming.
