Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Big Bird welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street, when an Indiana Jones lookalike (Jeff Goldblum) makes a grand entrance by swinging on the tire swing as if it were a vine. He asks Big Bird where to find Bob, so Big Bird points him out, and soon learns that the two are brothers, even though they're different. Bob's brother, Minneapolis, needs to stay overnight while on a certain mission, so Bob lets him. Minny runs off, and Big Bird asks Bob if he always ran like that. Bob replies, "Yes ... he was a very active child."

	SCENE 3	Bob introduces Minneapolis to Snuffy. Minny can't believe he's meeting a real live Snuffleupagus, because for him, it means an advancement in his quest for ... the Golden Cabbage of Snuffertiti.
	SCENE 3 cont'd	Minny tells the story of Queen Snuffertiti's quest to find the perfect favorite food for her Snuffle-subjects. The food she had in mind would have to be round, green, and leafy. One of her food-persons (Luis) brought her an apple (which has no leaves), and another one (Gordon) brought a tree (which isn't round). She felt like giving up, when her fan-person (Bob), whom she'd been ignoring all this time, presented her with a cabbage, which was round, green, and leafy (and great-tasting), making it the perfect favorite food for Snufflekind. She promised from then on to listen to everyone.
	SCENE 3 cont'd	Minny concludes his story with the rumor that a special golden cabbage, made for Snuffertiti, exists in a cave somewhere near them. Upon realizing that Snuffy's cave is the only one in the area, they immediately head there to look for the cabbage. Minneapolis swings off once more on the tire swing. Snuffy questions what is wrong with him, and Big Bird remarks "he was a very active child, that's all." Sound familiar? Template:SSvideo

It doesn't, so Minny looks at the map, and sees a poem which indicates that Big Bird and Snuffy have to sing "Toora-loora-leer, do-wop do-wop and hippety hop." When they do so, they hear a rumbling, and quickly make their way out of the cave, away from the large circular silhouette that chases them. Template:SSvideo
