This outline takes place during the thirs season of the muppet show.

Cold Opening/ Dressing Room
Beauregard installs a sewer in Art Carnys dressing room.

Introduction
Miss Piggy is upset that she couldn't be in the opening number.

Opening Number: Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?
Three muppet pigs sing inside their home. a knock on the door is heard at the end. The pigs are frightened, but the door falls down and it is revealed to be Gonzo, telling them that the wolf couldn't make it.

balcony
statler figures that the wolf is afraid to be on the show.

Introduction
it is time for Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphone.

act
there are six muppaphones. Whenever marvin hits one of the two on the right end, the two on the left end pop up into the sky. When he hits one on the left end, the two on the right end pop into the sky. when he hits one in the midle, all of the others pop up. Eventually, Muppaphones stop falling down. After they are all in the sky and marvin has given up, they all fall onto their plaforms, sending marvin to the sky.

backstage
Gonzo shows Scooter his artwork: a painting of a chicken laying corn. Scooter thinks that painting is too corny, so Gonzo calls it Art Corny.

Introduction
It's finally time for Art carny to go on stage and do an act.

Sketch
Art Carny is a sea captain and Fozzie is his first mate. They are being attacked, but Art instructs Fozzie not to help unless he is needed. The enemey, Uncle deadley, comes on the ship, and Art tells fozzie to attack. Fozzie tells some of his jokes, and Uncle deadley surrenders.

balcony
Waldorf tells statler that they should hire fozzie as the weapon of their ship, but Statler reminds waldorf that they don't have a ship.

U.K. Spot/ Talk Spot
Similar to the u.k. spot from the raquel welch episode, Kermit interviews Crazy harry, asking him the question that most people ask about him: why does crazy harry always blow things up whenever somebody says dynamite? But crazy harry just asks if somebody said "blow things up" and "dynamite"? and blows things up. Kermit then asks what Crazy harrys first performance was like. Crazy harry says that he didn't really do well, so kermit says, "so i guessed you bombed, huh? (thinks) oh, no...". And I guess you can figure out what happens next.

Backstage
Gonzo shows annie Sue and Miss Piggy his art: a spiral-like painting, a clay sculpture of Gonzos face, and a collage made up of badger fur.

Canteen
Art Carny complaisn that his soup is too hot, so Gladys puts some ice cubes in the soup.

Pigs In Space
The pigs have all gotten the swine flew.

balcony
Statler and Waldorf think they might be getting something worse than the swine flew: the muppet flew.

Backstage
Gonzo makes a small statue out of spagghetti, but Gorgon Heap eats it.

Closing Number
Art Carny and Sweetums dance in front of a black background, but since Art turns out to be a better dancer than sweetums, sweetums steals Arts legs. Sweetums puts the legs on a chair and starst dancing, but then the legs get up and dance on their own.

Good Night
Kermit and Art carny are joined by Sweetums, Gonzo, Marvin Suggs, Rowlf, and Uncle Deadley.

I love the Three Little Pigs opening number with Gonzo's surprise appearance and Statler commenting about the Wolf being afraid of appearing on the show.
