Mario responds that the sound is not coming from the Ratagator, so Luigi closes the Ratagator's vent and covers [[Clog]] with a bucket. He tells Clog not to come out until he gets to the chorus. Mario says that it is not Clog either, so Luigi says it may be the scarecrow, but the scarecrow denies it.

He explains that he is hiding the tape recorder so that if they get Little Robert to sing with them and get it on tape, they would have a collector's item. Mario replies that Little Robert is only coming to eat and not to sing, but Luigi insists. As they are still talking, the doorbell rings. Mario tells Little Robert to come in and greets him while imitating his mannerisms. After the greeting, Mario introduces Luigi to Little Robert, who then invites him to the dinner table. Before they start eating, Little Robert begins his song and Mario and Luigi join in, though he is unimpressed by their poor performance. | |||
Because of their poor singing, Little Robert makes the brothers perform. On the 45th take, Little Robert tells them to do it for [[Mama Mario]]. However, Little Robert is still unsatisfied by their performance. Mario asks what he thinks, and Robert responds that their "Oh Mario's" were great, but they are a little weak with their scatting. Luigi then asks for tips to help them out and Mario hopes they are not being a burden. Little Robert, starting to get upset, asks if he can just eat, so Mario says he can. As he is about to sit at the table, Mario instead tells him to take a pan with him. In response, Little Robert gets angry, saying that they invited him for dinner, then made him sing his song, and now want him to take his food "to go". After staring at Mario, he takes the pan and leaves as Luigi thanks Little Robert for coming over. Little Robert just replies with "shut up!". After Little Robert is gone, they go check on the tape, only to find the Ratagator scatting while the chewing on the unrolled cassette tape. Upset, Luigi halfheartedly scats as the show fades to black. | |||

Plot synopsis[edit]
In Mario Brothers Plumbing, Mario is putting on some shaving cream while looking at the mirror when scatting is heard. He then opens the mirror to pick up the razor inside, but instead of another internal mirror, there is a person about to shave too. They both start shaving and mimic each other's actions.
Mario then asks Luigi if he changed the mirror, but he responds that he cannot hear him because of a noise coming out of the vent. Once Mario asks what sound Luigi is referring to, more scatting is heard as the Ratagator lip syncs to it. Luigi thinks the Ratagator is the one singing, and he tells the Ratagator to stop. Mario responds that the sound is not coming from the Ratagator, so Luigi closes the Ratagator's vent and covers Clog with a bucket. He tells Clog not to come out until he gets to the chorus. Mario says that it is not Clog either, so Luigi says it may be the scarecrow, but the scarecrow denies it. Mario returns to the mirror and both him and the man in the cabinet are surprised to realize they are not looking at a mirror. The man exclaims that this is the weirdest motel room he has been in and begins to scat. When he finishes, Mario recognizes the man as Little Robert.
Later, the table is set for three people and Luigi tries to hide a tape recorder in a dish of spaghetti, but he changes his mind and hides it under the bread. Mario comes in saying that Little Robert is about to arrive and asks Luigi what is he doing. Sarcastically, Luigi replies that he is weaving a Navajo blanket.
