Mister Rogers arrives with a film projector which he takes to the kitchen where another machine is set up. After explaining how Picture Picture works, Mister Rogers uses images shown on the screen as he sings One and One are Two.
Dr. Omar Khayyam Moore arrives and explains how a controlled-reader projector and a "talking typewriter" can be used to help children learn. Mister Rogers explains that the machines -- including the Trolley -- cannot do anything without people.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Reardon is at the Museum-Go-Round where he and Lady Elaine Fairchilde are using a machine that shows funny fast films. Lady Elaine also has a machine -- a phonograph -- that plays a recording of Reardon singing. After Reardon sings I Need You, he is called to the castle where King Friday requests that he prepare an opera for Friday.
Back at the house, Mister Rogers pretends that wooden blocks are Lady Elaine's funny fast film machine as he watches the fast film again. He concludes by explaining that operas are stories told by singing the words. As he changes his shoes, he sings a few lines from I Need You.
