Dennis the Menace was a "rascally rascal" who once stuck a pound to the ground and tricked a police officer into attempting to pick it up. After his dog, Gnasher, painted a red target onto the officer's posterior, he flung an array of cactus spikes towards it, causing the officer to jump into the air in pain, losing his "gnashers", which popped a large Red Nose-shaped balloon filled with celebrities which was floating over Beanotown. The celebrities, including a Dalek, in the balloon then fell into a jam factory and exited covered in jam, to which Dennis remarked "I thought it was just your nose that was meant to be red." before sending Gnasher to lick them clean. Dennis then told the celebrities that he and Gnasher would fix the balloon, and told them to have a look around Beanotown. (NOTVALID: Dennis the Menace in Balloonatics)
