In this episode, James wears a kazoo hat and tries out something new: instead of a Story Bell, a Story Beeper!

The beeper doesn't bring a story so he has to use the Story Bell anyway.  The story is about a very nice girl called Jane who is normal in every way except for one - she does not have a belly button.  It takes a long time and takes her all around the world but eventually Jane solves the problem of the strangeness of her belly.
