Kermit the Frog has assembled his "nifty" jellybean collection on top of a wall so that he may demonstrate what people mean when they say the word, "most."
Three glass jars have been arranged with varying amounts of jellybeans: the one on the left has some jellybeans, the jar in the middle has more jellybeans, and the last to the right has the most amount of jellybeans.
As he begins to reiterate, Cookie Monster emerges from behind the wall with a growl. He identifies the candy and immediately pours the jar filled with the most of them down his throat. He disappears, leaving Kermit with two jars to demonstrate some and most. This repeats until Cookie Monster has eaten the contents of each jar.
Prompting the monster (and the audience) to "stay right there," Kermit promises to be right back and exits.
Upon his return in the second part, Kermit holds a distracted Cookie Monster at attention as he explains that he's once again going to demonstrate the concept of "most", but he's replaced the empty jellybean jars with marbles. Repeating the progression of some, more, and most in each jar, Cookie Monster follows along to the end when he grabs the jar with the most marbles, fills his mouth with its contents, then violently crunches the polished stones.
His repulsed reaction is met with glee by Kermit for outsmarting the monster. "And there we have a most unhappy monster." Kermit leaves with a glib huff as his dupe agonizes in disgust.
