	Intro
	Scene	Samson is cleaning his cave, and Finchen is sorting the leaves in her leaf pile. Finchen welcomes the viewer and tells that they are cleaning up the street for the competition for the most beautiful street in the city.
	Scene	Nils is polishing the apples, when Samson and Finchen come around and start to talk about how exciting the competition is. The winning street will get everything they need for a party for the entire street, and a performance by Luigi Lupo, who will also be on the committee. Finchen is sure that they will win; she has made sure that the most beautiful leaves are on the top of her leaf pile. They then hear some noise from Rumpel's corner.
	Scene	It turns out that Rumpel is adding new junk to his junk heap. They try to convince Rumpel that he needs to clean it up, as they are trying to win a competition for the most beautiful street. Rumpel refuses to remove the junk heap even for just one day. Samson and Finchen realize that the street party and the concert from Luigi Lupo are suddenly out of reach. But as soon as Rumpel hears the name Luigi Lupo, he suddenly gets interested--it turns out that Rumpel is a huge fan of Luigi and even has a poster of him. Rumpel decides that under the circumstance, he is willing to help to make the street beautiful. He starts to find even more "beautiful" junk, as he concludes that the junk heap has to be bigger if they want to win. And then the city committee arrives.
	Scene	Finchen welcomes the city officials and Luigi Lupo to Sesamstrasse. The city officials like what they have seen so far; everything looks very beautiful. Then they hear the noise from Rumpel's corner. Luigi then notices the huge junk pile and hurries over to it.
	Scene	Luigi is impressed with all of the junk; he has never seen so much fantastic junk before. Luigi is happy to see something other than the trivial things he has seen so far; he thinks that it is a great feat of creative chaos. Rumpel is excited that his pile of junk got so much praise from none other than Luigi Lupo. The city officials reluctantly declare Sesamstrasse as the winning street due to the creative chaos.
	Scene	Ernie is playing air guitar, while Bert can't stand the noise of the music that Ernie is listening to. He asks Ernie if he could turn off the radio, and Ernie gives him permission to do so; however, Bert discovers that the music does not stop playing even after he turns off the radio. Ernie then asks Bert how he likes Luigi Lupo's live concert on Sesamstrasse.
