Season 2:
With the help of some suspicious ancient deeds Walter seizes Dennis' treehouse and claims it for his own. Dennis and co smell a rat - but they must first outsmart their own booby traps and break in to the impenetrable treehouse to rightfully claim it back.
Dennis is consigned to a day of hard labour stacking logs as punishment for pranking the Colonel during the holidays. He soon shows his fortitude and finds a way to menace up the chore into something more fun for himself and all his classmates...
Beanotown's latest arrival is Dennis and Gnasher's nutty neighbour's greatest rival. The Colonel's always been a magpie for medals, but has he met his match? Anyone who can transform Dennis and his gang from organised chaos into organised military menaces deserves every medal going...
Mr De Testa has installed the Confiscat-inator - a state of the art security system for contraband confiscated in class - password encoded and set to be locked tight until 2050! Dennis decides there's only one thing for it - they're going to have to bust open the vault. He knows just the menaces for the job... but someone has to crack the complicated mathematical code - and the only man for the job is Walter. If Dennis can get him to join the gang, then Beanotown school is about to witness the biggest heist it's ever seen.

Dennis spreads the word around Beanotown that he is planning the ultimate prank.

Dennis borrows his Dad's new hair restorer to use as ammo in his super soaker for a typical day of pranking at the Zoo and ends up turning the whole town into one big, bad hair day - including Dad, who is mistaken for a gorilla and whisked off to Beanotown Zoo! The menaces need to find a cure for the hyperactive hair follicles, and quick.
Dennis & The Din Makers go on a whistle stop tour of Beanotown, with a special gig planned to rock The Annual Beanotown Jurassic Model Competition - and ruin it for Walter!

The menaces will have to think quickly, and enlist some rather unusual tools, to disarm the legendary Megasonic 20k before any permanent damage is done.
Dennis hears a pest exterminator is inspecting the school and decides to have a little fun, menacing up a highly convincing Giant Ant costume for Gnasher - so convincing, in fact, that the exterminator shuts down the school for a whole day!
