Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon greets the viewer, while in the background are sounds of busy street noises. He says that you probably guessed there's a lot of traffic on Sesame Street. So it's important to be very careful when you're near the street and especially if you have to cross it. Batman knows that.
 	Cartoon 	Batman and Robin attempt to capture the Joker, but also teach a lesson about crossing the street safely. Holy manhole!
 	SCENE 2 	Susan and a few kids approach Gordon, and play a game where they all close their eyes and listen to the traffic sounds and identify them. In addition to a fire engine and an ice cream truck, they also hear a horse galloping and a racing car. Film footage for each plays after they make the correct guess.
 	Film 	Tracks from a race car cross paths until most of the screen is blank. A pair of foot prints crosses the screen to blank out the last bit.
 	SCENE 3 	Big Bird, inspired, decides to build his own racing car. He points out he's previously built a television set, a cuckoo clock, and a truck out of boxes, so why not a racecar? Gordon says he'll need boxes; maybe Ernie knows where to get one …
 	Muppets 	Lefty the Salesman wants to sell Ernie an empty box, explaining that he can fill the box with things like a pet mouse (if Ernie had one) and jellybeans (if they rained from the sky). Ernie wants an empty box, but doesn't have any money. However, Bert brings a box of cookies, and Ernie throws the cookies out so he can catch jellybeans from the sky.
 	SCENE 4 	Big Bird has built his own makeshift racing car - which actually works (and runs on gas)!

 	SCENE 7 	Mr. Hooper plays two rounds of "Three of These Things" in his store. He first displays a rubber ball, a basketball, a football, and a balloon. Afterward, he replaces the balloon with a tennis ball, thus changing the answer. He introduces another great problem-solver...
 	Muppets 	Granny Fanny Nesselrode, "The Answer Lady," gives some homespun, yet harebrained advice. First, she describes how to read a letter while they're trapped in such "nasty old envelopes." Her announcer tells her to simply open the letter. He then reads some fan questions, the first asking what to do with dust on the dining room table. Granny Fanny suggests collecting each piece one at a time, but her announcer suggests using a dust rag. Finally, Granny Fanny receives a question about peanut butter getting stuck to the roof of your mouth. She eats a spoonful and finds the only solution is to wipe it off with your finger. Now that the glob is stuck on her finger, she says the solution is to stick it back in your mouth. As she gets caught in this loop, her announcer closes the program.

 	SCENE 8cont'd	Bob tells a story of a big brother B and his little brother b.

 	SCENE 11 	Mr. Hooper is impressed with the race car Big Bird built out of boxes. He finds it ridiculous if it could really work, until he gets behind the wheel himself and takes off!
