Alistair Cookie makes a wardrobe change to star as his usual self in a film about conservation. Cookie Monster's Pop teaches his son about saving water by turning the faucet off tightly and saving electrical energy by turning off the TV when nobody is watching it. They spy a plate of cookies and decide that those shouldn't be wasted either, but Chef John and a group of monsters rush in to admonish the pair for eating the cookies which they were saving for themselves.
The "Flossee and Splatt" animated insert is shown on the television, underscored by the theme from Rocky and His Friends. By the segment's final airing, the theme music was removed.
An arrangement of "Ode to Joy" scores the monsters' chase scene.
