In a lesson on the letter "P," Kermit goes to Peter Piper's Pickled Peppers Patch to interview Peter Piper. Kermit gets to meet members of Peter Piper's family; who are all also pepper pickers, but, as his brother Porter Piper puts it, "Pete gets the publicity."
Each family member Kermit talks to adds to the pickled pepper pile, which happens to be right where he's standing. By the end, Kermit is piled chest-high with peppers and demands to know where Peter Piper is. Cousin Parker Piper answers "He's in Portland, pressing pants."
The family includes Porter Piper, Potter Piper, Piper Piper, Poppa Piper, Parker Piper, and pets including a dog named Pepper Piper (who Poppa Piper accidentally calls "Pepper Popper"), a pig named Porker Piper, and a parrot named Polly Piper (who pecks the pickled peppers).
