The Smothers Brothers open the show with Tom explaining about how one brother usually gets confused with the other, then sing a lively tune about Super Dave. Tom Smothers then becomes the "Yo-Yo Man" and dazzles the audience with his tricks. Fuji and Super give a tour of the new Super Dave Safe Soccer Stadium, which has measures in place to prevent fights between players and spectators, and to ensure the referee's safety. The biggest feature is the ejection seats people can use to escape if a riot erupts. Super intends to simulate a riot by having rows of seats filled with cardboard cutout people move closer to him until he decides to eject.
