Mister Rogers enters wearing a backpack. Inside the backpack is a toy elephant that plays a drum. Mister Rogers takes the batteries out of the toy elephant to show that the toy will not work without the batteries. Mister Rogers then goes to visit his friend Tim Adams. Tim Adams shows Mister Rogers all the instruments that a percussionist plays and demonstrates some of them. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Aberlin is talking to H.J. Elephant who is dressed in a funny costume. H.J. Elephant tells Lady Aberlin that Henrietta Pussycat and X the Owl are afraid of something–that is why they are playing loud drums and bells. Lady Aberlin tells X the Owl that King Friday doesn’t like the drums and bells. X the Owl agrees to turn the drums and bells off. Mr. Aber, Daniel Striped Tiger, and Prince Tuesday are all dressed in space alien costumes for a parade. They invite Lady Aberlin to join them. Back at the house, Mister Rogers reads a book entitled “Animal Sounds.”
