Mister Rogers arrives with a toy truck that he has borrowed from the Neighborhood Toy Lending Library. Using the truck, he demonstrates how a bucket lift works. Mister Rogers even wears a hard hat and safety goggles during his demonstration. Viewers are then invited to go along with Mister Rogers as he visits a friend who trims trees using a real bucket lift.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, King Friday is outside the castle with Mimus Polyglottos as Lady Aberlin watches through binoculuars. At the tree, she talks with Henrietta and X the Owl as Henrietta shares her helium balloon.

Meanwhile, Betty Okonak Templeton is working in a bucket lift at the Museum-Go-Round while Lady Aberlin searches for Prince Tuesday and Little Panda. Purple Panda suggests that they may have pinged to an AOP -- Altogether Other Planet.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers continues his discussion about curiousity before Mr. McFeely stops by with a pinwheel.
