Picture	Segment 	Description
 	Cold Opening	Wolle has gotten a bunch of new red buttons, just in case his original red button breaks. But when he is told to start Sesamstrasse he gets confused as to which one is the real button. He manages to whisk the spare buttons down off the counter and pushes the only one left.
 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	Nils has been trying to build some new shelves for the last two hours and Rumpel is enjoying himself since Nils keeps failing. Rumpel notices something passing behind Nils, and asks Nils if he saw what it was. Nils tells Rumpel to keep quiet, as he is trying to concentrate. Then suddenly a hare jumps out and scares Nils. It turns out to be Armin, a professional scarer. Rumpel isn't impressed, and claims his great aunt Grautschhilda could do a better job. They decide to find out who can scare the best.
 	Scene 	Armin begins to sing a song about scaring while trying out a vampire costume. Rumpel joins in as he prepares a new scaring machine.Nils has finished the shelves, but is a bit worried about the sudden silence, so he decides to check up on Rumpel.
 	Scene 	Rumpel proudly shows Nils his new invention, the Grouch-scaring-machine, and gives him a rundown of what it does. First he will get Armin to sit on a whoopee cushion that has been modified with a small trumpet. The sound will make him jump up and pull the nearby rope, which will open a stinky pot. The smell will get Armin confused, and he will get entangled in a nearby net, which will release a bucket of goo that will pour down on him. Nils is not sure it will work, since there would not be a reason to sit on the whoopee cushion. Then Armin sneaks up on Nils and scares him. Nils gets so scared that he sits on the whoopee cushion and releases the various steps in Rumpel's new invention.Armin is impressed by Rumpel's machine, and Rumpel compliments Armin for his choice of costume. Rumpel asks Armin if he has any more horrible costumes, and they go off to take a look. Nils gives up and once again sits on the whoopee cushion, and the sound scares both Rumpel and Armin as they pass the finished shelves, and they get so scared that they knock over the shelves.

Once the lesson is over, Cookie attempts to open the boxes, but finds that all of them are stuck. Undaunted (and not wanting to wait until the word of the day is "open"), Cookie eats the cookies and the containers.
 	Muppets 	The boss tells Wolle that the day is over and that he can turn off the lights but Wolle is nowhere to be seen. It turns out that he is up on the ceiling, as he wants to dive down and push the button. The boss realizes that something bad is about to happen. Wolle dives down but is tangled up in his rope and stops just above the button. And just as they both think that Wolle is unable to turn the lights off, the rope snaps and Wolle lands on the button as the lights go out.
