Mopatop opens the episode by asking if the viewer would like to dig, wear a pink wig or listen to a pig, who sings the first verse of "Ten Green Bottles."
The customer for the day is a member of the cool new singing group, the Happy Flappers. His problem is that the song he has written is missing something, but he does not know what. Mopatop asks him to sing some of the song so they will know what it's missing. After a short demonstration, Mopatop concludes that the song is missing lyrics, but the Happy Flapper doesn't know where to get them from. Mopatop concludes that this is a job for Ed, and begins to sing a song about writing songs.
After the Happy Flapper has told Ed what he wants the song to be about, Ed gets to work. Shortly afterwards, Ed has the lyrics ready and the Happy Flapper likes it and starts to sing it, but is interrupted by Mopatop, who thinks there's still something missing: a tune. Mopatop asks Puppyduck to look for a tune in the music box. Moosey Mouse then starts to compete with the music box by playing on the ten green bottles that are hanging on the wall. The Happy Flapper likes the tune on the bottles better and starts to sing his new song.
