The show opens with Sophia, a young lady in her night suit sleeping on her bed on her birthday. She wakes up and opens her birthday gifts but is not impressed by any of them except the one revealing the bubble sister, a lady in a white and yellow bodysuit. Sophia takes time to warm up the bubble lady and her antics, but soon they are both having fun blowing bubbles. The bubbles get bigger and longer and stay on longer.
