Op een mooie lentedag wordt Johan Eend door Henk voorgesteld aan Anna van de Polder. De twee worden smoorverliefd en al snel legt Anna eieren. Johan en Anna zijn Henk erg dankbaar en dus besluiten ze het eerste eendje dat uit het ei komt te vernoemen naar de overgrootvader van Henk, 'Alfred'.
In the original outline written by Herman van Veen, the episode ends right after Alfred's family was run over by a car.[1] This was later changed to happen in Episode 2.
