While her parents are reluctant to accept the animal, Babs convinces them to let her keep the pet on the condition that she can properly train it. As Babs works to house-train the unruly animal, she and her friend Tijn discover that her grandfather may have secret, ulterior motives for the piglet involving a charcuterie competition.
