Terkel is seen walking onto the set from the main entrance. In character, he takes the viewer through the old restaurant and fondly recalls his time spent on the show with the other members of the cast. Terkel talks about some the guests he and the cast had on past episodes. Terkel specifically recounts a time in which he received a few speech lessons at the restaurant, which leads to an archival clip.

The speech therapist, Mrs. Mertle, and Studs are practicing a few different vocal techniques. Chet Roble, Win Stracke, and Beverly Younger all watch as Terkel receives the lesson. A television star eventually makes his way into the restaurant to talk with Studs about a possible spot on his program. What unfolds is a rather amusing turn of events that ruins Studs’ chances of gaining a spot on the television program.
