A Grouch (Camille Bonora) from the Bureau of Missing Banana Peels arrives with the fruits of their search - a whole banana, a banana without black splotches, and a brown banana peel with only two flaps, none of which match Oscar's peel. With all hope lost, Oscar throws a fit and falls into his can. It turns out he's slipped on his prized banana peel! Oscar decides the search was fun, and throws it into his trash pile to find it again.
