It is up to HulaMouse to rescue Tuesday and Little Panda.

Rogers reads his own book, Daniel Striped Tiger Gets Ready for Bed. Later in the program, he finds violinist Hilary Hahn at Negri's Music Shop. In between, nighttime grips the Neighborhood of Make-Believe with worry over Little Panda and Prince Tuesday.
