Underneath the craggy surface of the Clangers' planet, Glow Buzzers make their wondrous hives on the walls of the caves producing delicious glow-honey. The Glow Buzzers, however, do not appreciate the Clangers taking their honey without their permission. They appreciate manors.

Small Clanger finds himself craving the sweet taste of their honey. When he attempts to sneak some, the Glow Buzzers are naturally furious with Small Clanger's rudeness. In contrast, Tiny asks respectfully for a taste of Glow Buzzers' sweet honey, and they gladly offer her a portion.

Quite jealous, Small Clanger stomps off to a mysterious part of the cave where marvellous flowers grow, but he quickly gets lost. The Glow Buzzers graciously help him find his way back home by using the yarn from one of Granny Clanger's knitting projects. The Glow Buzzers kindly forgive Small Clanger and direct him home. Small Clanger learns about being polite to others and how adventure requires responsibility.
