Arthur and his friends have been preparing for their concert at Crown City. Binky even mentions Finkelmeyers. Then Mr. Haney mentions Dr. Fugue will be their substitute. After school, Binky develops a plan. The next day they practice for their concert in Crown City. At lunch, Arthur and Buster sang to each other. It took a few days of practice, and then they are ready. On their way to the concert, the road was closed, so they took a detour to a diner. At 4:00 they sang. Then Buster tries a pie, and it was good. Then they go home, finishing the episode. | |||

* The [[Lakewood Elementary Choir]] sings ''[[In the Good Old Summer Time]] ''during a snowstorm which impeded them from getting to Crown City.
