Gerald is bemoaning the fact that he has never managed to author a renowned hazard warning of his very own. However, when he is stabbed in the chest by a pin from a new shirt, he seizes the opportunity, and with Malika's help, sets himself on a mission to convince the mayor that all shirts sold in Baselricky must carry a warning label.

Valerie agrees to help Susan and her partner, Victoria, rehearse in secret for the upcoming local Big Ballroom Night dance contest. Gerald and Valerie have been winning every year for ages but now they won't be competing due to their recent divorce. Meanwhile, Malika discovers that her Big Ballroom Night dance partnership with the mayor is in jeopardy.
