Mister Rogers arrives with a stuffed toy gorilla and pretends to put it to bed while he sings I'm Taking Care of You. He remembers his visit with his Koko the Gorilla.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday is playing hide and seek with Lady Aberlin when an unexpected guest arrives in the Neighborhood -- a gorilla! As the gorilla goes throughout the Neighborhood, everyone is afraid except for Lady Aberlin. As she welcomes the gorilla, Lady Elaine Fairchilde sounds an alarm notifying everyone of the gorilla's presence.
Back at the house, Mr. McFeely brings over a film about how toy balls are made.
Notes
Mister Rogers' visit with Koko was documented in a 1998 issue of Gorilla: The Journal of the Gorilla Foundation.
