Peg is strolling along, talking about how everything is in its place... but is it? No! It turns out that Cat is stuck in a tree again! She asks how he got stuck and he replies that he will explain later, but tells her not to tell anybody that he is stuck as he finds it embarrassing. Peg, in her usual manner, thinks this is a really big problem, but Cat wonders why they cannot simply use the kaleidoscope, box, and book like they did before. Peg leaves to get those items and a cheeky bird gives Cat some flowers.
Peg, however, finds the pirates using the box and book as a boat and the kaleidoscope as an oar. She asks for them back, but the Pirates cannot return them. However, they let her borrow their actual boat, which has a trunk of junk in it.
When informed of the news, Cat is worried but Peg reassures him (in song) that there is more than one way to solve a problem. She then decides to look in the trunk of junk for ideas. The cheeky bird comes back, this time with wind chimes.
Meanwhile, Peg is looking for ideas and finds some items she thinks she can use. However, she steps on a spring, rolls on a barrel, and ends up breaking her junk and dangling from a fishing line. Ramone, who is working with circus giraffes, arrives and helps Peg down. Peg realizes the giraffes are nearly as tall as trees and asks to borrow them. There is a bit of awkwardness as Peg is not allowed to tell anybody that Cat is stuck in a tree, but Ramone lets her borrow them.
She brings them back and Cat tries to jump on the shortest giraffe, but finds it too far so he jumps on the tallest one instead. However, the tall giraffe is trying to shake Cat off and his fur is too thick for Cat to slide down. Peg Totally Freaks Out, but then the bird plays the wind chimes, inspiring Peg to put the giraffes in order (because the chimes were in order). Cat climbs down and, after a round of Problem Solved, explains how he got stuck: he wanted an apple but couldn't reach it, so he tried to climb a canoe, which washed him down the river. He rode back on a flamingo and a horse, the latter of which left him on a roof. He flew upwards on a kite, but the kite got struck by lightning and disintegrated, so he landed in a tree, but the apple fell down. However, Peg gives him an apple she put under her hat earlier.
