SCENE 1 Maria works in the Fix-it Shop trying to fix a staticky radio. While she goes to look for a new tube, a Martian (Jerry Nelson) appears, sees the radio, and guesses that it’s either a cat, a chicken, or a doggy. After failing to communicate with the radio (which somehow begins to work again), a commercial for the Sleepy Slumber Mattress Company (narrated by Richard Hunt) plays, causing the Martian to become drowsy. He falls asleep on the counter as an extended program of violin music plays when Maria returns, wondering how her radio is working again.

SCENE 2 Maria is dumbfounded over how the radio got to work by itself. She picks up the sleeping Martian, thinking him to be a rag, and is shocked when the creature wakes up. The Martian thinks Maria is a monster (claiming the radio is an Earth person), but she tries to prove she’s not by comparing herself to a picture of Herry Monster. The befuddled Martian notices that like Herry, she has two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and shaggy hair – only Herry's hair is all over his face. She assures him that there are nice monsters on Sesame Street and shakes tentacles with the Martian, who identifies as “Snork.”
