Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	After welcoming the viewer, Gina sees Oscar writing something and wants to know what it is, but he tells her to stay away from his trash can. She tries leaning against it to get a view and he finally relents. He explains that Grundgetta is visiting her aunt in Trashylvania and he's writing a letter about all the rotten things she might be missing. Gina assures him that nothing rotten has happened, or will. Oscar continues writing anyway, detailing how Gina just ruined her shirt by leaning against his newly-greased can.

 	SCENE 3 	Oscar starts to write about what happened the previous day - a magic show by The Great Blechini. In the flashback, we see his act as he tries to pull a rabbit out of his hat for a small crowd (including the Grouchketeers and Mr. Macintosh). The trick partially works, but the grouchy rabbit refuses to come out and the two start arguing. Oscar writes that it was the best magic trick he's ever seen.

 	SCENE 4 	Oscar goes on to describe the second part of Blechini's act. For the trick, he needs a volunteer and pulls Bob from the crowd. Blechini has Bob sing "One of These Things" and will make the item that doesn't belong disappear among three toy dogs and the Grouch rabbit. With some assistance from the Grouchketeers, Bob correctly guesses that the rabbit doesn't belong and Blechini tries to make it disappear, only he refuses to leave.

With a wave of his wand and the magic words ("A la sour grapes!"), some rotten, broken shoelaces appear in Gina's pockets.
