SCENE 1 Gina welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street, where it's a really hot day today. Telly, dressed as a penguin, waddles by with three other penguins, on his way to the penguin party (aka the "Snow Ball") at the Furry Arms Hotel, where he and the penguins will sing, dance, slide on ice, and eat fish. Wolfgang goes crazy when he hears there will be fish, but the penguins tell him to stay away. Telly says he'll bring Wolfgang back some fish, and Gina goes inside Hooper's to turn on the air conditioner.

When she hangs up, one of the penguins invites her to play a "One of These Things" game with four penguins - one of which has a clown nose on its beak, and one of which (unbeknownst to everyone but Gina) is Wolfgang in disguise. When they realize he's a seal, chaos almost ensues, until Maria and Luis come back in to report that the AC at the Furry Arms is now fixed. The penguins slide back to the hotel.
