Mister Rogers arrives with a bucket of dirt which he takes to the kitchen where a large pan is set up on the table. Spreading the dirt, he adds a small amount of water and makes mud pies. After making a dam in the remaining dirt, Mister Rogers sings Sometimes People Are Good.

Professor Fitzpatrick stops by with a few prints showing the work of Winslow Homer. After showing the prints, he creates a some chalk drawings, including an ocean wave and a tree in water.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Joey Hollingsworth is digging a well outside the factory and dances some dirt across the Neighbohrood to Daniel's clock. He explains to Daniel how a water pump works before performing a short water pumping dance.

Returning to the factory, Joey installs the pump and primes it with a cup of water delivered by Daniel. Corney gives a selling hat to Joey as he sets off on his next Rockit-selling assignment.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers cleans up the kitchen as he concludes his visit.


Notes

As Joey Hollingsworth dances outside the clock, I'm a Man Who Manufactures plays in the background.
