The episode begins with Trixie knocking frantically on the Kramden's door. Alice rushes to answer it, and Trixes says that Ed "is at it again." Alice calls ralph from the bedroom. Trixes tells them that Norton is sleepwalking again. Ralph is rather annoyed because he has been woken up the last three nights to rescue Norton. They spot Norton on the fire escape. Trixie begs Ralph to go help him. Ralph goes out the fire escape to help perform the rescue. Ralph gets Norton sleepwalk back into their apartment, through the window. Alice suggests to Trixie that Ed see a doctor. Trixie says that he has seen a doctor, and they he thought the sleepwalking was being caused as a result of being nervous and upset. Ralph reenters the apartment through the fire escape. He is upset because Norotn did not lose any sleep through the ordeal, but he has. As Trixie is leaving, Ralph gives her tacks to spread on their floor and fire escape. He says that the tacks will put an end to Norton's sleepwalking. After Trixie leaves, Ralph insists that he is done chasing after a sleepwalking Norton. Ralph grows more upset and begins to yell. Alice tells him to be quiet because it is late and people are sleeping. Norton walking into the apartment and asks Ralph to have consideration for the people who are sleeping, and accuses Ralph of waking HIM out of a deep sleep!

Scene 2 is again in the kramden apartment. Ralph is working on a crossword puzzle at the kitchen table. Alice suggests that they go to bed, but Ralph does not want to. He says that as soon as he gets to sleep, Norton will be sleepwalking. Alice tells Ralph that Trixie tied a bell around Norton's wrist so that it will wake her up when he starts to sleepwalk. Trixie enters the apartment and tells the Kramdens that Ed is fast asleep. Both Ralph and Alice are being sympathetic to Trixie because she has not slept for three days. Both Alice and Ralph offer any help in any way that they can. Alice suggests that Trixie stay with Alice and Ralph stay in the Norton's apartment with Ed. As they are arguing over this suggestion, they hear a bell ringing. All three of them realize that Norton is sleepwalking. Alice opens the apartment door, and in comes Norton. He does a circle around the kitchen and walks out. Disgusted, ralph follows norton out the door.

scene 3 is in the Norton's apartment. Ed is preparing for bed by eating some fruit and popcorn. Ralph puts the bell on Norton's wrist, locks the door, and hides the key. The two men go to bed. Norton looks through a magazine, but as he turns pages, the bell keeps ringing and keeps Ralph awake. The two finally get to sleep at 11:45pm

Scene 4 is in the Norton's apartment at 3:00am. Norton starts to sleepwalk. Ed takes the key, which is under Ralph's pillow and unlocks the door. The scene cuts to Ralph sitting on the bed with an awake Norton pacing back and forth in front of him. Ralph has called the doctor to come examine norton. When the doctor arrives, he says that Norton is sleepwalking because he is in search of something. He thinks that if he gives Ed pentathol (truth serum), then Norton might tell them what he is searching for. If that is known, then they can provide what is searching for, and hopefully stop sleepwalking. After administering the shot, Norton starts talking about Lulu. Lulu turns out to be a dog that he had growing up. Ralph insists that if they get him Ed a dog, he will stop sleepwalking.

Scene 5 is in Ralph's apartment. It is midnight, and Norton has not sleepwalked yet. As Ralph and alice are sitting in the kitchen, norton sleepwalks into their apartment, holding Lulu the second.
