Oscar, dressed in a turban and armed with a pipe, calls out for people to see him and Slimey perform the Grouch Indian Worm trick. All they need is a shoelace, which Luis provides out of curiosity. As the trick begins, Oscar plays his pipe and the shoelace rises up, then goes stiff. Slimey climbs up the lace, which then vanishes from sight. Slimey re-appears from inside a nearby box, but Luis' shoelace is gone for good - "That, my friend, is the second trick, and it's on you!" Cartoon-Nancy the nanny goat nibbles her nails and notices noodles. Artist: Tee Collins.
