Curiosity Critters the Staff and Staffs the Critters

First, in the City, at Museum of Science, the world is full of surprises for Curious George, who has never before seen a robot exhibit, as Professor Wiseman and the Man with the Yellow Hat show him what robots do.

Then, Professor Wiseman hands him a glass of grape juice, but not for drinking, but to spill upon the carpet, which Curious George gladly does, and then a sweeper robot drives up to clear the stain. Professor Wiseman and the Man with the Yellow Hat then demonstrate an arm robot's unscrewing light-bulbs.

And then, Professor Wiseman shows the Man with the Yellow Hat to a showcase to display his rare robot models before Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat go wild playing with robots, so she suggests that he run along to retrieve his rare robot collection instead.

Now, at apartment, Curious George continues to play with the Man with the Yellow Hat's rare robots, before the Man with the Yellow Hat tells Curious George that they're valuable collectors' items, not toys. But Curious George may drive around the Mars Rover, which he continues to drive into the lobby, where Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund chases Mars Rover, as the Doorman and the Man with the Yellow Hat observe. Before the Man with the Yellow Hat leaves for Museum of Science, the Doorman tells Curious George that he didn't know that Hundley likes robots.

Well, back in apartment, Curious George discovers a rare robot, which the Man with the Yellow Hat has left behind, the two-inch-tall red XF-17, so Curious George discovers its plans and tries to find mechanism to drive this rare red robot. Curious George improvises to secure gift paper rolls and a pan for the head, but decides upon a colander in order to see through its holes. He then tapes everything to a box, using toy automobiles for shoes, and wraps with red gift-wrap and rope, adding goggles to become two-foot-tall XF-17.

But, back in the lobby, Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund treats XF-17 as real robot, but Curious George doesn't want him to know his identity, and so he falls asleep in the corner, while the Man with the Yellow Hat tells Professor Wiseman that he must have left XF-17 at home, so Professor Wiseman volunteers to retrieve XF-17 from the lobby, when the Doorman points him out although he stands two feet tall rather than two inches.

Yet, Professor Wiseman carries XF-17 to Museum of Science, where she ushers the Man with the Yellow Hat to the elevator, but XF-17 is missing! A Security Guard then takes Professor Wiseman and the Man with the Yellow Hat onto the elevator and upstairs, where XF-17 runs out of control amid a crowd of cheerful onlookers.

So, who serve as museum exhibit for a day? Two-inch XF-17? or Two-foot Curious George, as he creates "Robot Monkey Hullabaloo?"

Next, also in the City, Mr. Zoobel, Curious George's upstairs neighbor in the City, asks Curious George to pet-sit for the day for Benjy and Willie, Mr. Zoobel's pet Mice, and Bruno, Mr. Zoobel's pet Gopher Snake, while Mr. Zoobel leaves to paint his Zoo mural "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

Now, the Man with the Yellow Hat also must leave to talk with Park Director about "Heritage Week," leaving Curious George, Benjy and Willie and Bruno alone even though Benjy and Willie hide from Bruno, inside of the hut within their glass habitat, while Bruno also has a hut inside of his separate glass habitat.

Well, Curious George then leaves to purchase treats for Benjy and Willie at Pet Shoppe, where Pet Shoppe Owner gladly accommodates him even though Curious George doesn't wait around for the mouse treats.

But, before Curious George returns to hear the message, Mr. Zoobel calls from Zoo, saying that Bruno is about to shed skin, which he does about three times a year, and then Curious George arrives to discover Bruno's ex-foliate molt! Curious George takes Bruno's skin in tie box to Pet Shoppe, where Pet Shoppe Owner explains that the skin isn't all which remains of Bruno, but Curious George realizes that he left Bruno's habitat open, and so Bruno slithers away onto building ledge! Curious George then checks on Benjie and Willie, who then escape, also crawling onto the building ledge!

Then, Bruno enjoys the warm sunlight outdoors upon the ledge, but after sundown, all three pets remain upon the ledge, so Curious George mounts a one-monkey search party to protect the mice and snake, but then Bruno slithers into the upstairs hallway, where the Doorman helps a painting crew, leaving his coat upon the floor, where Curious George observes Bruno's slithering into the Doorman's coat!

And then, Curious George dashes down the steps because the Doorman carries his coat into the elevator, but back inside the lobby, the Doorman inadvertently slings Bruno onto his desk, where Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund watches curiously, before Bruno slides into the elderly neighbor's grocery box, as she carries it toward the elevator, so Curious George volunteers to assist her, but she leaves Curious George in the upstairs hallway, before setting the box of groceries in her kitchen, where Bruno once again exits onto the ledge through the kitchen window.

Yet, Benjy and Willie, meanwhile, hide from Bruno and enter the hallway window, where Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund chases them back onto the ledge, before a weary Curious George once again sets out to rescue them and Bruno and now Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund, who becomes trapped outside on the building's ledge!

So, will Curious George be able to figure a way to rescue Benjy and Willie, Mr. Zoobel's pet Mice, Bruno, Mr. Zoobel's pet Gopher Snake, and Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund, before Mr. Zoobel returns with the Man with the Yellow Hat to discover any misfortune because of "Curious George and the Slithery Day?"
