Gonzo introduces
Metro-Goldwyn-Bear's The Fool of the Roman Empire. Moore portrays a jazz piano-playing
Julius Caesar. Moore plays a melody on the piano, while Gonzo,
Beauregard and
Lew Zealand have a
chariot race. Gonzo's chariot is pulled by a chicken, Beauregard's by rats, and Lew's by a shark.
Backstage,
Rizzo complains to Kermit about the previous sketch, claiming that it was an insult to rats. Rizzo and his rat buddies try to convince Kermit to put them in a glamorous rat production number. Kermit tells the rats that the Muppets have already done a similar production number in The Great Muppet Caper, showing a clip, featuring "The First Time It Happens".
Lily Tomlin attempts to flirt with Kermit, but Piggy interrupts them. Kermit suggests that Tomlin introduce the
horror genre. Despite Tomlin's insistence that she's not a fan, she's attacked by a group of Muppet monsters. In
J. Arthur Link's The Nephew of
Frankenstein, Fozzie visits his uncle (played by Dr. Julius Strangepork) who is working on a comedian
monster (played by Mulch). They attempt to do a "Hot Cross Bunnies" joke. The experiment blows Mulch up and burns the film screen. Firefighters are called, but joke that they are unable to put out a fire that was caused in the 19th century as "our hoses won't reach!". The segment ends with Kermit parodying
Porky Pig's "That's all folks!" line.
Rowlf the Dog presents a silent film featuring Kermit and Sopwith the Camel. Mulch drops in, finally getting the "Hot Cross Bunnies" joke.
Sam the Eagle comes to translate a film by famed Swedish filmmaker
Ingmar Bergman.
Floyd Pepper informs Sam that the film isn't by Ingmar, but by his brother
Gummo. The film Silent Strawberries parodies Bergman's filmography. It features
The Swedish Chef,
Beaker (as "The Angel of Death"), Fozzie and Kermit. As the film is not in English, Sam has to translate. Much to Sam's disgust, the translations make absolutely no sense. The film ends with a rendition of "
Hooray for Hollywood".[1] Waldorf claims he doesn't believe in "The Angel of Death", but is automatically frightened by someone over his shoulder (a popcorn girl).
A spoof of Casablanca: Kermit bids his goodbyes to Piggy among the harsh wind of an airplane.
Dudley Moore tells the audience about his love for artistic French films. He then explains that because of this fondness, he asked the Muppets not to parody them, but instead to do a "tasteless tribute to the Western". In
Tantamount Picture's Small in the Saddle, a couple of cowboys, their horses, two outlaws, and the outlaws' cows sing "
Ragtime Cowboy Joe." Lew shows up paddling a boat. Much to Statler's shock, Waldorf has apparently turned into a cow.
Backstage, Kermit tells Beauregard that it is time for his tribute to the Hollywood stuntman. A clip, featuring Beauregard driving Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo in a taxi is shown.
Kermit introduces the next musical number: Piggy performs "
Heat Wave" in the style of
Marilyn Monroe and is backed up by a penguin chorus.
Backstage, Kermit congratulates Piggy on her performance. Piggy wants everyone to see what a great performer Kermit is, by showing a
Fred Astaire tribute that he did in The Great Muppet Caper, succeeded by a clip, featuring the song "Steppin' Out with a Star". Afterwards, Statler does his own "tap dance" routine.
In Goon with the Wind,
Dudley Moore and Piggy portray Rhett and Scarlett as they watch a fire in the background. The sketch is interrupted by the firefighters from earlier on. Statler and Waldorf decide to give the sketch three big cheers. Three big chairs are thrown at the two.
