The Adventures of Paddy and Penny Pig introduces Paddy Pig and Penny Pig his shy girlfriend. Paddy, a deeply thinking pig, is dissatisfied with the monotony of life in the piggery. However when the farmer adds scrumptious pancake scraps to the pigs' swill on a single occasion Paddy's imagination goes into high gear. Paddy dreams of escaping and discovering the recipe for making heavenly pancakes. He plans for the pigs to escape over the perimeter fence by cleverly constructing a 'live pyramid' of pigs. But, alas, Paddy's initial effort ends in disaster. Nevertheless his colleagues succeed in escaping by digging a tunnel under the perimeter fence.
Once free the pigs run riot on the farm, much to the annoyance and frustration of the farmer and his wife. Bonny and Cecil O'Reilly finally entice the pigs back into the piggery with a pancake 'drop'. However Paddy and his fellows perfect the construction of their 'live pyramid' and this allows them to escape at will. Of course their secret spreads to nearby farms, and eventually far and wide across Porcine County. Although shocked at first, the farmers slowly begin to take pride in their clever pigs which mysteriously escape every full moon and faithfully return to their piggeries when enticed with pancakes. This strange activity is presently celebrated with annual pancake eating festivals in which the pigs gleefully participate.
