Kermit faces a chaotic night behind the scenes filled with mishaps. During the opening act, a ski troupe suffers injuries, and although Kermit assures them the theater will pay for their treatment, Scooter neglects to deposit the check. The Teeterini Family is furious because their teeter board is too large for the stage. Meanwhile, the Swedish Chef is trying to cook spring chicken, but the lively bird sends Kermit into a frenzy. And to top it all off, there are blindfolded yodelers attempting to hang-glide, adding to the pandemonium.
