Super Dave is at the Osborne Memorial Hospital due to an awful accident. He was rehearsing the show introduction with the girl's softball team at the Super Dave Memorial Sports Arena, where a powerful magnet caused a bus to run into him. Back at the studio, Veronique Belliveau sings "Make A Move On Me". The doctor is wheeling Super in for an operation to remove the fragments of magnet from his body. Glen Campbell sings "Light Years" and "Gentle On My Mind". The operation was a success, despite the fact that the doctor's surgical instruments kept getting stuck to Super.
