Plot Synopsis:

This episode starts with the gong exploding when Gonzo hits it after the theme song. Kermit welcomes the audience to the show and announces tonight's guest star is Juliet Prowse and "we've also got Mahna Mahna, whatever that means."

Two cowlike creatures called Snowths sing a song with the words "Du doo du doo du" while a crazy scatting creature, Mahna Mahna, keeps getting between them shouting his name and disrupting the Snowths song.

Statler asks Waldorf what a Mahnamahna is? And Waldorf replys, "Who cares!"

Backstage Kermit is sipping some milk through a straw, when Scooter, interrupts with Muppy to discuss a song they will be doing. Kermit insists they're not performing, until Scooter reminds him that his uncle owns the theater and the "Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Dog" number's one of his favorites. Muppy thinks he's a killer dog, and bites Kermit, then drinks his milk.

Kermit goes and introduces Gonzo's act. Gonzo proceeds to eat a rubber tire to the music of Flight of the Bumblebee. He's eventually booed off stage.

Scooter apologizes to Kermit on Muppy's behalf just before letting him know Muppy's latest demand: his own dressing room.

Juliet emerges from her dressing room and comments that she's never had to share a room with someone who eats a tyre.

Kermit introduces Juliet. She then dances with green horse creatures before fading into the scenery. Waldorf comments to Statler about Juliet's disappearance, and Statler shows Waldorf that he can do it too.

At the ballroom, Mahna Mahna dances with Wanda, while Mildred and George dance together. Miss Piggy dances with another pig. A monster asks his partner is she minds if he smokes, and smoke starts coming from his head, filling up the ballroom till everyone is choking on it.

Rowlf plays piano and sings one of the most unheard of classic songs of our time - a song that only sold two copies. "I bought one and George bought one, where were you?"

Kermit has a quiet discussion with Juliet, and she calls him "the Robert Redford of frogs". Kermit gets Juliet to kiss him.

Fozzie prepares for the Cowboy sketch. Muppy presents his latest demand: he wants the title of the whole show changed to "The Muppy Show".

Rowlf sets up the scene for the Cowboy sketch as he plays saloon piano. He remembers the day Kid Fozzie came to town. Fozzie attempts to rob the bar with pickles for guns. After much taunting, he shoots the chandelier down trapping the bartender. After Rowlf knocks away his carrot/knife, Fozzie produces - an APPLE ... and the fuse is lit! The apple bomb explodes destroying much of the saloon.

Waldorf comments that he can't understand why Muppets find explosions funny. Statler lights his cigar and it explodes.

Zoot asks Juliet what has one eye, sharp teeth, and is long and fuzzy - it turns out to be her fur stole. Juliet looks shocked as the monster uncoils from he neck and zips away.

Prima donna Muppy has locked himself in his dressing room so Kermit recruits Fozzie to take his place.

Scooter dressed as ringleader with mustache sings Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear while Fozzie on a chain dances along! Rowlf accompanies on piano.

Statler makes Waldorf think his hearing aid has run out of batteries again. When Statler makes fun of Waldorf, he gets a punch in the face.Kermit tries to conduct the Muppet Glee Club, an assortment of frogs, chickens, and pigs (including Miss Piggy.) He waves his baton but no one sings! Kermit points out this is a Glee Club and he should hear something when he waves his baton. Unfortunately everyone sings something different! Kermit gets the group to agree on "Temptation" and assigns the lucky Miss Piggy the solo. The Glee Club does an excellent version of the song, but Piggy gets carried away and starts smothering Kermit with her affections.

Kermit presents Juliet with a Muppet likeness of herself for appearing on the show and earns a second kiss (actually third, if you count Piggy's kiss).

Waldorf asks Statler what he thought of the show, when Mahna Mahna pops up between them in the box.
