 	Cold Opening	Rumpel welcomes the viewer and inform that he is doing an experiment: he is trying to make a beard growing tonic so he can win a Grouch science contest.
 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	Rumpel thinks that the tonic is done; however, if he drank it himself he would not be able to see if he would grow a Grouch beard. Pferd comes by and asks Rumpel if he can have some of that lemonade, but just as Rumpel refuses it he realizes that Pferd could be his test subject. He gives Pferd some of the "lemonade". Pferd thinks it's delicious and then he starts to slowly grow a beard. Rumpel claims that he is a genius, but Pferd tells him that the lemonade was not that good. But the beard continues to grow bigger.
 	Scene 	Rumpel shows Pferd the beard in a mirror. Pferd is a bit confused and Rumpel tells Pferd about the beard tonic he made. Pferd wants Rumpel to make the beard stop growing. Rumpel tries to figure out how to stop the beard from growing, Pferd suggests that he could use some carrots, but Rumpel doesn't belive that would work. Rumpel tries something else instead, and Pferd drinks the new tonic. This time his eyelids turn pink. Pferd is not happy with the new look.
 	Scene 	Rumpel then tries to mix a new tonic, but this time Pferd grows big teeth. Rumpel is clueless about what to do next. Once again Pferd suggests he should make a tonic out of carrots. Rumpel refuses, since no Grouch in his right mind would use carrots in experiments. But Pferd insists that Rumpel should make a new tonic out of carrots.
 	Scene 	Rumpel then proceeds to make a tonic out of carrots juice, but insits that Pferd should keep it a secret from the other Grouch scientists. The carrot tonic works, and Rumpel starts dreaming about wining the Grouch scientist award for his new discoveries. Pferd interupts Rumpel's daydream by asking him if he can have the rest of the tonic. After drinking it, Pferd turns around and walks away and Rumpel notices that Pferd's tail has turned orange.
 	Scene 	Ernie is shocked about what he has seen down on Sesamstrasse. Bert has not seen anything; he has been busy using his hairspray. Bert explains to Ernie what hairspray is good for: he mentions that you look good, and that hair keeps your head warm and that with lots of hair you don't need to wear a hat during winter.
