Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly practices his tuba, as he will be performing with the Tuba Tune Tooters in the park at noon today. He then receives a message from Norman, straight from The Grand High Triangle Lover himself. Telly has been invited to the Triangle Lovers Luncheon at The Furry Arms Hotel today and has been personally chosen to give a speech on the importance of triangles! However, the luncheon also begins at noon - how will Telly be able to be at both events?

 	Cartoon 	A young bespectacled man with an accordion asks how much it costs to cross the bridge. The Bridgekeeper says admission is free, but requires that the young man show him three triangles. Two of them are found in the bridgework, and the man uses the bridgekeeper's staff to draw a third triangle in the dirt. Although the bridgekeeper has his order filled, he asks the man to play a tune on his accordion. This additional request takes the young man by surprise, but he is told to do so for the opportunity to get past the bridgekeeper.
 	SCENE 2 	Telly explains his problem to Elmo and cuts him off every time he tries to give his solution. Telly thinks they can cooperate by putting Elmo in a Telly disguise and going to one event while Telly's at the other, but Elmo is unable to play Telly's tuba and his voice and referring to himself in the third person will give him away when making a speech. Telly gets a better idea and drags Elmo along.

Elmo argues that was his idea the entire time, but Celina stops the fight so Telly can enact the new plan while she goes to see if Howard's okay.
