Angry that the others don't care about his latest invention, Gonzo decides to secretly eat their share of cookies from Nanny. As his shoulder angel and devil clash over this, the kids tell a story about their hunger and the cookie thief.
The babies learn about American History involving George Washington and the Revolution of 1776 through an old book, while Gonzo looks for his own kind of history (outer space science fiction).
The kids play Snow White with Skeeter as Snow, Piggy as the Evil Queen, Gonzo, Fozzie (who doubles as Mirror), Scooter, Rowlf, Animal, Dr. Bunsen and Beaker as the Seven Dwarfs and Kermit as Prince Charming.
When their TV set gets broken, the kids create their own TV program including their version of Star Trek: TOS with Kermit as Kirk and Gonzo as Spock, a rock music video about a TV maniac and Piggy's stand up on Johnny Carson's show.
Rowlf is disturbed by the concept of zoos, but Nanny explains that they have a good side to them because they protect rare and endangered animals. The kids then visit an imaginary place where rare anthropomorphic animals live happily.
The kids find a stack of books, but since they can't read yet they simply imagine what they're about and play the stories (Robin Hood, The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan) out themselves.
Kermit finds a lamp like the one from Aladdin, so everyone makes a wish, which backfires. Piggy asks to go on a cruise, Fozzie asks to be in movies (but ends up in Keaton's Cops), Gonzo asks for Piggy's kiss. Only Kermit can't decide.
