Picture 	Segment 	Description
center 	SCENE 1 	Gordon observes how peaceful Sesame Street is today, but a barrage of flying trash ruins it. He encounters Oscar doing something uncommon: cleaning house! Oscar's way of cleaning house is by throwing trash onto the street. Gordon tells him that the trash usually stays in the trash cans, but Oscar ropes him into helping out anyway. He pulls a hose out of the can (from his front hall), then catches a horseshoe.
 	Cartoon 	H is for horseshoe.
 	Cartoon 	A red man tries to think of words that begin with H, but a yellow man keeps spewing them out until Red draws a hole under Yellow, who yells "HELP!!"
 	Cartoon 	H for hello (voice of Gary Owens)
 	Cartoon 	Poverty H (repeat)
center 	SCENE 2 	The area beside Oscar's can is even more littered by now; among the strewn items are a tattered armchair, a steamer trunk, and his chiffonier. Gordon explains to Susan what's going on, but Oscar can't put anything back yet (he just waxed the floor). Gordon and Susan put together several items of trash that used to go with each other, then put them together to find what they used to make: an umbrella, then a bicycle, and a chair. Gordon sees a big letter R, which Oscar says is his "initial" because grouches do things backwards.

 	Cartoon 	R is for Rooster, and Robber, and Rake ... (repeat)
center 	SCENE 3 	The waxed floor has dried, so Gordon and Oscar begin putting things back in. Gordon notices that Oscar has a lot of round things such as a ball, a frisbee, and a "Hooper hoop." (Oscar: "You know, I live in a round trash can; what did you expect, triangles?") Gordon decides to show him a film about circles…

 	Cartoon 	A boy's jump rope rhyme identifies the parts of his body that hurt - "otherwise I feel fine!"
center 	SCENE 4 	Gordon and Oscar have just finished the cleaning process. Gordon remembers that Oscar got a telegram earlier, and produces it from his pocket. It reads, "Dear Oscar. Plans changed. Cannot come to visit you tomorrow as planned; Hope you didn't go to any trouble for me. Love, Mother." Upon hearing this, Oscar proceeds to mess up the street yet again and (literally) blow off some steam.
 	Cartoon 	Poverty T
center 	SCENE 5 	Bob, holding a letter T, invites the viewer to have a "T party" and look around for T's on Sesame Street. He finds them on the door of Hooper's Store, the yard fence, and the gate at 123 Sesame Street. He hears water splashing from inside Ernie and Bert's apartment…
