After a chance meeting (hiding from Bunsen's latest hairbrain invention), Beaker assists Beauregard with building a set for the ancient-Egypt closing number. But the two end up causing chaos culminating in Beaker running amuck with power tools, Bo continuing on the set during the closing number, and Kermit realizing the idiocy of both.
