Overview
The special has the main human cast along with several of the muppet characters going along including Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Telly, Bert and Ernie, Count von Count, Grover, and Oscer. At this point in the shows history, Snuffy is still an imaginary friend to Big Bird. Big Bird has arranged to meet with Snuffy at the museum but before he can, it is time for the group to leave for the night. Big Bird decides to go off and look for Snuffy.
Before the group can leave, they realize Big Bird is missing and run all through the museum looking for him. The case has them going through different exibits at high speed and missing, spotting, and chasing Big Bird. After a bit, the group gives up to find they are locked in the museum for the night. They decide to go back out and look for Big Bird and look at all the exibits while they are at it.
Big Bird eventually finds Snuffy and wonder the Egypt exibit and encounter a prince named Sahu and his cat who has been cursed to remain on Earth and not be able to become a star like his parents until he answers the question "Where does today meet yesterday?" Every night a midnight for thousands of years, a deamon appears to ask Sahu that and has answer wrong every night.
Meanwhile, the other group has split up and are all in different exibits. Bob and Cookie Monster find themselves looking at pictures with food in them. While Cookie tries to eat the pictures, Bob points out to him a sign that says "Don't eat the Pictures." Cookie Monster replies with "Oh, this going to be a loooonnng night." He later does a song about this.
Oscer finds an exibit of sculpturs that have been broken by natural disasters. He looks in and brakes into song on how beautiful they are to him. Grover finds an exibit fild with armor from the Midevil times and think a suit of Maximillion armor is a guy named "Max" and tries to befriend him by changing into his Super Grover costume and sings "I Want to Be Your Friend."
As the night passes, Big Bird and Snuffy continue to try and figure out the answer to the question. Soon before midnight Big Bird unknowingly figures out the answer is "a museum." When the deamon appears that night, the question is answered correctly and Sahu is sent to Osiris to have his heart weighed. When the feather to weigh his heart doesn't appear, Big Bird offers one of his to help. When Sahu's heart is too heavy, Big Bird claims that it wasn't fair since Sahu was on Earth for so long and so alone his heart would be heavy.
After this, Sahu heart becomes lighter and he is allowed to join his perants and take his cat. When morning comes aroung Big Bird finds the other group and Snuffy is gone. He left early to get to "Snuffle Garden."
