On New Year's Eve, Bean hosts his very own party with his best friends Rupert and Hubert, but it isn't long before his guests discover that there is more fun at the party next door and trick Bean into letting them go. The following morning on New Year's Day, Bean buys construction tools and a large recliner at the January sales of a department store and has a unique way of driving then home, then tries painting his flat himself and starts off the new year with a bang.
