Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids come to life and step out of their animated, inner-city Philadelphia world.
The episode's storyline was based on a routine from Bill Cosby's 1966 Grammy-winning album Wonderfulness. In the story, called "Go Carts", Cosby related how he and a bunch of other neighborhood kids stole nearly 300 baby coach wheels to use on homemade go-cards for a big downhill race. When parents started complaining to police about the stolen wheels, the kids hid them and waited a few days "for the heat to blow over" before they held their race, but in the end they were all caught when they were stopped by "nine hundred cop cars" at the bottom of the hill on which they were racing. (According to Cosby, the hill was named "Dead Man's Hill" because it went straight down for a quarter-mile before emptying out onto a freeway.)
