Penny can't believe her luck. She had told everyone she was going to become a TV star and now it was actually happening. "Officer Cool" is Ralph's favourite TV show and she is the new Officer Lead, his trusted pencil. With her new friends Clapper, the clapperboard, Ruby the make-up brush and Meg, the megaphone, Penny has to save the show from being taken off the air. Someone is tampering with the scripts and Penny has a feeling that the evil Black Texta might be back. Penny's idea to run a competition to appear on the show might just save it, but when Bert the Bully wins the competition, she begins to get suspicious...
