Andy sees by the stairs a blue and yellow box but he doesn't know what is inside. He walks over the box and tries to open it as the "What's In The Box?" song starts playing. When the song finishes playing, Andy knocks on the lid of the box and then a jack pops up and gives Andy a surprise before popping down again. It is a jack-in-the-box. Teddy arrives and sees the box but doesn't know what's inside. Andy doesn't say anything so Teddy can figure out what's in the box himself, he knocks on the lid and the jack pops up surprising Teddy before popping down again.

Andy and Teddy want to see the jack again so Andy knocks on the lid of the box again as the "What's In The Box?" song plays again. The jack pops up and stays up.

Andy and Teddy jump so much that they jump right away, when they have gone Looby Loo comes to life and sees the box and goes over to it to knock on the lid. The jack pops up and Looby dances to the song "Here We Go Looby Loo" for it, as Looby dances the jack moves up and down to the music. When the song finishes playing, the jack pops down into the box and Looby goes back to where she was and becomes a doll again.

In the garden, Andy and Teddy are playing in the sandpit, they then take it in turns to jump out of the sandpit and then in again. Andy and Teddy decide to play Hey Diddle Diddle next so Andy lies down on the grass pretending to be moon and Teddy pretends to be the cow jumping over the moon.
