As Big Bird and the Birdketeers welcome the viewer, the scene moves to Ernie and Bert's apartment. Ernie reveals to the audience that it's Bert's birthday, and he has planned an elaborate surprise. Bert enters with his new book, The History of Oatmeal, expecting some quiet time to read. Suddenly, Ernie surprises him with a dancing elephant, the All Penguin Drum and Bugle Corps, and the Honker and Dinger Birthday Greeting. Overwhelmed, Bert requests peace and quiet. Ernie honors Bert's wish and sends everyone, including himself, away.
Ernie encounters Gordon and Miles playing basketball and, although he wants to return to Bert, they persuade him to join their game. Meanwhile, Bert reads but starts feeling uneasy with the silence. When the basketball game ends, Ernie is directed to a Birdketeer meeting. There, he participates in "Bird Follow the Leader" led by Big Bird. Curious about Ernie's whereabouts, Bert leaves the apartment to find him. After the Birdketeer meeting, Ernie joins Big Bird and Snuffy for "The Snuffleupagus Alphabet." Eventually, Bert finds Ernie and expresses his feelings about being left alone. They all come together to celebrate Bert's birthday.
