While the rest of the Fraggles prepare for Boober's surprise birthday party, Red is stuck taking Boober on an adventure hike to the Spiral Caverns. She hates having to spend time with the overly negative Boober, but they learn a lot about each other when they're trapped in a cave-in.
Quotes
Boober: It's creepy down here!
Red: Oh, what are you so worried about?
Boober: I'm worried about enclosed spaces and death and pain and spiders and words with R in them and... do you want the whole list, or just a general overview?

Fraggle Facts
Every year on a Fraggle's birthday, they go to the Trash Heap for birthday wisdom.
Notes
Felix the Fearless, the head of the rescue squad, makes his first appearance in this episode. He's actually a complete boob, but someone has to run the rescue squad and Felix volunteered. Upon hearing of the cave-in, Felix jumps into action: "Okay, here's my plan -- everybody line up in alphabetical order!" His other, equally helpless appearance is in the fourth season episode Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water.
International Versions
In the UK version, the Captain and Sprocket are snowed in, and Sprocket refuses to let Fluffinella into the lighthouse for shelter. Uncle Matt encounters the "lair of the long red giants" (double decker buses).
