In the midst of working on a big Christmas show, the Muppets are told by new bank owner Rachel Bitterman that they only have a short time to pay the theater mortgage. Kermit does his best to rally the Muppets into saving their theater and everything seems like it's going to work out. However, Rachel changes the contract and Fozzie experiences a few mishaps when he attempts to deposit the money, missing the payment deadline. Kermit blames himself for everything going wrong, but a well meaning angel wanting to help intervenes and shows him how bad the world would be without him. Add a recap »
