While digging up trombones that he buried in the back yard, Mel becomes dirty -- so dirty that he is in dire need of a bath. Easier said than done! Good thing Sudsy Bubblestein, Professional Dog Washer and Stylist, is out scanning the neighborhood for dirty dogs! She is the only one who can convince Mel that he needs to take a bath.
A Hawaiian beach party is disrupted when Mel's sand-making machine starts making snow. Jack, Mary, Prudence, and the penguins help to keep things moving as Mel tries to fix the machine.
Jack, Mary and Mel meet Leonard, a squirrel who's new to the neighborhood and missing his friends and farm. He's super homesick today because back home is the annual Jugband Jamboree! To make Leonard feel better, Jack, Mary and Mel decide to throw him a down home party filled with music, dancing and acorn pie!
