Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, Gina is about to serve lunch to Telly when someone arrives on horseback. She stops at the counter, sticks a feather in her hat and says "Macaroni." Upon realizing she's arrived at Sesame Street and not London, she gets into an argument with her pony (David Rudman). Telly figures out that this person is Yankee Doodle (Louise Gold), and is shocked when she and the pony suddenly decide to part ways. Telly makes it his goal to make this nursery rhyme right again by getting them back together.

 	SCENE 3 	Telly encounters the pony polishing a taxi, and tells him he's got to get back together with Yankee Doodle. The pony likes his new taxi driver job a lot better, relieved that he doesn't have to have Doodle on his back and look for London anymore. He's feeling much happier about his new line of work when a customer (Julianne Buescher) enters the taxi. Unfortunately she wants to go to London, and the pony starts arguing with her.

 	SCENE 4 	The lady refuses to get out of the taxi unless the pony drives her to London. Yankee Doodle passes by riding Myrtle the turtle, also on her way to London. Telly gets the idea that they could all drive to London together, since they're all headed that way. The pony still refuses to go because he has never found London. The lady, however, has a map to help them out. Doodle comes up with a way to save the rhyme (sort of), and she and Myrtle get in the taxi.

 	SCENE 5 	Gina is impressed that Telly got Yankee Doodle and her pony back together. However, she points out to everyone that New York and London are separated by an ocean, which means they can't drive there. Myrtle suggests they could drive to see her uncle Willy in Poughkeepsie, and they all agree and zoom off. Telly makes sure the nursery rhyme works for both him and Gina, and they announce the sponsors. The credits follow.
