Mister Rogers arrives with an Arthur puppet and a collection of drawings by Marc Brown, creator of Arthur. The drawings show various scences of Arthur visiting the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
At his studio, Mr. Brown is working on a new Arthur story when Mister Rogers stops by for a visit. On a large sketch pad, Mr. Brown demonstrates how he draws Arthur before going on to describe the detailed process involved in making an animated program. Together, he and Mister Rogers watch a segment from an Arthur episode called Arthur Meets Mister Rogers. As Mister Rogers is leaving, he meets Michael Yarmush who provides the voice for the animated Arthur.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Arthur is playing with Prince Tuesday and Lady Aberlin has to explain to King Friday that he is not King Arthur. Taking Arthur to the tree, Lady Aberlin introduces him to X the Owl and Henrietta Pussycat. Moving on, Lady Elaine gets the attention of Arthur and Lady Aberlin by dousing them with water as they pass the Museum-Go-Round. Lady Elaine is very pleased to find that Arthur wants to visit the Museum-Go-Round as soon as he is finished playing at Daniel's clock.
Back at the house, Mister Rogers spends more time looking at the pictures drawn by Marc Brown before Mr. McFeely stops by with a videotape about how people make traffic signals.
