Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Peering from over his cape, The Count makes a dramatic entrance to count people who say hello: Maria, David, Luis and Big Bird. At the climax, the four of them cower from the Count's thunder and lightning.
 	Muppets 	Old West: Sinister Sam comes to the saloon, looking for Doc Holiday. He questions the frightened townspeople, looking for the doctor, but all he can find is a mailman and a fire fighter. Sam says they'd better find the doctor, because he's got an itchy trigger finger. The doctor is found, cowering under a table. The doctor asks what Sam wants with him, and the mean hombre says that his finger is really itchy -- it's driving him crazy. Is it a mosquito bite? Should he use some lotion on it? Doc Holliday faints. Sam shrugs, and joins the other patrons at the bar for some milk.

 	SCENE 3 	At Hooper's Store, Big Bird enters with Kwame, who has brought in his dog Potzie. David starts to sneeze, explaining to Big Bird that he’s allergic. Big Bird and Kwame agree to take the dog outside, and Big Bird decides to stand guard at Hooper's to make sure no other furry animals will cause David to sneeze. Big Bird spots Mr. Snuffleupagus coming out of his nest area, and quickly pushes David under the counter “for his own good” until Snuffy passes by.
