Daniel Tiger is wearing a cape as he pretends to be Super Daniel. He and his family are finishing dinner and Daniel cleans his plate before helping to clear the table. Daniel plays super heroes, with the few mintues he has before getting ready for bed.
When it's time to get ready for bed, the first task at hand is bathtime. After washing, with a tub full of toys and bubbles Daniel make-believes that he is on a boat sailing the "soapy seas." As the water drains from the tub, Dad Tiger assures Daniel that he is much too big to go down the drain.
After putting on his PJs, Daniel brushes his teeth and climbs into bed. Mom Tiger turns on his night light and reads him a story called Super Heroes Go To Bed Too. The story describes how Super Stanley goes through a bed time routine similar to Daniel's.
Before Daniel drifts off to sleep, Mom Tiger sings Goodnight Daniel.
