A Minion Pig wanders into a room with a trampoline. But the trampoline is inaccessible because there is a sign preventing the pig from jumping on the trampoline. The pig makes sure nobody is watching him, so he jumps onto the trampoline, but he does not seem to bounce. He repeatedly and angrily attempts to get himself to bounce.
A small spaceship lands next to the big pig and a tiny alien pig comes out of it. The tiny alien pig converses with the big pig, who then starts laughing, but then the tiny pig gets back in its spaceship and flies it into the big pig's mouth. The big pig's eyes glow and it starts floating and flies off.
Two pig peers over a hole in the ground that acts like a vertical wind tunnel, constantly pushing air up. The pigs jump on the hole and hover, until the air stops blowing and they fall. When they get to the bottom, they have fun with their echoes.
Note: The Pigs in this episode also appear as a cameo in Slingshot Stories.
A pig pushes a button on a box, which makes a sound and then a crashing noise. The pig finds this very amusing and pushes it several times until he gets bored. He walks around and discovers a bunch of pigs that have been smashed in on the ground. Then he hears the sound and a weight from above almost smashes him. He dodges several of these, then chuckles, but then he got smashed in as another pig has pushed the button. After that, laughing sounds can be heard and the button smashes him.
A pig picks a rolled up tube of super glue. When another pig arrives, the first pig drops the tube and leaves but the second pig is attached to the back of the first pig. Another pig comes and ends up attached to the pigs. More pigs do the same and they end up having to act like an inchworm to move around.
A pig wearing a bucket for a helmet swings around a wooden sword pretending to be in a sword fight when he bumps into an anvil suspended in midair by a balloon. At first he pokes around the bottom of the anvil but nothing happens. Then he stands on the anvil and cuts the string from the balloon but nothing happens. Then the balloon falls on him with the force of the anvil and smashes him, and then pops.
A pig finds a push button, this time on the top of a crate. After several attempts, he jumps on top and lands on the button, but the entire floor rotates at different angles. He struggles to climb back to push the button several more times until the side of the crate with the button falls to the floor, causing the floor to go on different angles constantly, causing the pig to panic. Eventually, the "floor" with the crate is the ceiling, and the pig, after regaining consciousness, giggled, but then the crate falls on him, causing the button to be pushed once more, and send the whole place spinning.
Two pigs take turns taking a deep breath and holding it, puffing themselves up to see which pig is bigger. When one of the pigs puffs himself up to an enormous size, the other pig puts a cork in his mouth, causing him to float.
Two pigs are hanging out by a crate. One of them nudges the other to play hide and seek, but after the first one does the count, the second one has not moved.
A pig pushes a button for an elevator, but neither of the two doors will open, despite the floor indicator arrow moving around and lighting up. After several tries, both elevator doors open: one is full of pigs and the other is empty. After a little bit of thought, the pig begins to laugh, and he joins the elevator full of pigs.
The pigs find a pair of rubber gloves. The two bigger pigs play with them in all sorts of ways. The third pig inflates them and shows its actual purpose, but the first two pigs disapprove.
Two masked superhero pigs (resembling Batman and Robin) chase a robber pig, but the robber pig crosses a chasm. The superhero pigs try different schemes to cross the chasm but fail.
Note: The Pigs in this episode also appear as a cameo in Slingshot Stories.
A pig doctor treats pigs by using a stethoscope, a hammer for reflexes, and then giving them some medicine on a spoon, and the sick pigs almost immediately become better.

Note: The Doctor Pig also appears in Slingshot Stories, and checking on the Pig who accidentally got into the dimension of Piggy Tales.

Two pigs are hammering in a nail when the lunch horn sounds. As they eat, they discover another pig about to saw off the beam they are sitting on. One of the pigs eating lunch offered him a chainsaw to speed up the sawing.
The pigs use balloons to fly over to each of the screws they have to install. But when one of the balloons pops, they start descending at a rapid rate and must find a way to drop their weight.
The pigs are building race carts for a race, but do not want to use the rocket, suggested by another pig. So, the other pig decides to make use of what he has to win.
The pigs need a screwdriver, but the toolbox is on a block out of reach. They use a magnet to try to pull the box over, but it turns out to be super powerful and it begins to pull everything else as well.
A pig falls into a crate with glue and emerges stuck in the frame of a unstoppable makeshift robot suit. He tries to be useful in his job, but with not much help. Despite this, the other pigs adore him and they assemble and also use the same method to make robot suits of their own as well.
While three pigs are working on their construction projects, a light bulb for the area flickers and goes out, leaving them in the dark. It lights but goes dark again. The pigs take advantage of the dark to goof off until the light is on again in which they show they are working.

The official release for the series was 10 February 2018, starting with Pig City Valentine.[89]
