Scooter's uncle sells the mineral rights to Kenny's dressing room to Arabs, who start drilling for oil. Meanwhile, Kermit falls in a trapeze number and hurts his flipper. Later, he's pushed down the stairs, hit by a light fixture, and shot by a catapult into Statler and Waldorf's box. It's a pretty rough night for Kermit.
