Mr. Bluster interrupts the regular show by demanding 500 marbles a day, since Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody owe him. Mr. Bluster and Buffalo Bob come to an agreement that if Clarabell makes him laugh by playing a trick on Bob they'll be square. Mr. Bluster laughs at the trick but still doesn't take it as the adequacy of 500 marbles. Now Howdy comes to an agreement with him that if they show him a funny movie that'll make him laugh he'll be okay. The circus act movie didn't work since Mr. Bluster slept through it. Now they agree on doing a song with three of the kids from the audience and if it's good Mr. Bluster will allow them the 500 Marbles. The song was Oh Susanna performed by the kids on Ukuleles, which they got to keep. The song was excellent, said Mr. Bluster but not worth 500 marbles, so now it's Howdy's turn since he hasn't done anything yet. Howdy told Buffalo Bob to get something special from a hidden shelf in the wall and so he did a scarf with Howdy Doody, Mr.Bluster, Victor and Clarabell. This gift is something worth 500 marbles to Mr. Bluster and he accepts it.
