Picture	Segment	Description
	Cold Opening	Pferd is ordering an ice cream from Luigi der Eis Wolf, since he knows the best thing for a hot day is a big ice cream.
	Intro
	Scene	Pferd is so proud of his huge ice cream that he wants to show it to Wolle before he eats it. Luigi tries to tell Pferd that he should eat it before it melts, but he does not hear that, since he has already left to look for Wolle. Pferd can't find Wolle at the barn, so Pferd decides to hide the ice behind his back; that way, it will be a bigger surprise for Wolle. As Pferd goes looking for his friend, he leaves a trail of melted ice behind him.
	Scene	Pferd thinks he has searched everywhere for Wolle; he even climbed a tree. Just then, he runs into Wolle. Pferd tells Wolle about a wonderful thing he has made and proudly shows him the huge ice cream, which has now melted and only the cone is left. Pferd can't understand where his huge ice cream has gone, so Wolle declares that this has to be a case for detective Wolle. He quickly finds a clue to what happened to the missing ice cream: there's a trail of an ice-like substance. Detective Wolle concludes there can only be one answer: the ice cream has been stolen by a slimy ice monster. They decide to follow the trail to track the monster down.
	Scene	The trail leads up a tree. Wolle concludes that the monster is hiding up there and he climbs the tree. However, Wolle discovers that the monster is not in the tree, and notices that the trail continues down on the other side. He climbs down and tells Pferd that the monster must have spotted them and climbed down the other side to avoid them, and they start following the trail again.
	Scene	Through his magnifying glass, Wolle discovers the green ice monster. He confronts the monster and demands that he return the ice he stole from his friend. Pferd tells Wolle that it's not an ice monster, it's Luigi the ice cream wolf. Luigi then explains to them that Pferd's ice cream has melted due to the heat. Wolle realizes that the trail they followed was the missing ice cream, then declares the case solved.
	Scene	Bert is looking forward to Ernie coming back with an ice cream for him. Ernie returns with two ice cream cones: lemon for himself and strawberry for Bert. But Bert's cone is empty, so Ernie tells Bert that Luigi was all out of strawberry.

	Muppets	Ernie has just enjoyed a nice strawberry ice cream when Bert arrives, telling Ernie that he is looking forward to eating the two strawberry ice creams he has ordered. Ernie tries to deny that he ate the ice cream. Ernie tells Bert that a green wolf came by and ate the ice cream and placed the napkin and the spoon in Ernie's hand, but Bert doesn't believe that story. Bert leaves and Ernie says that of course his story is not true; wolves don't eat strawberry ice cream or use napkins and spoons. Then a green wolf arrives and does exactly what Ernie just told Bert. After the wolf leaves, Bert returns and Ernie tells him the story again. Bert tells Ernie that he might as well confess; his story is as likely to have happened as a chicken with a red apron coming to tell them that they have to wash the glasses themselves. Then a chicken with a red apron arrives to tell them that they should wash their glasses themselves. (YouTube) This is a re-make of a classic Ernie and Bert sketch from the original American version of Sesame Street.
