Mr. McFeely had been walking the dog and Mister Rogers asked to borrow him to show to his television friends. After playing with Rondo for a few moments, he returns the dog to the McFeelys. At the McFeelys' house, Mr. McFeely returns the dog to its owners while Mrs. McFeely shows Mister Rogers her new recorder. Using the new and old recorders, Mister Rogers and Mrs. McFeely play Row Row Row Your Boat on the recorder. Mrs. McFeely also plays a more complicated piece by Mozart. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, the power has been restored and MGR-TV is back on the air. Lady Elaine Fairchilde and Lady Aberlin do their best to fill time while they wait for Mr. McFeely to arrive for his own show.
