Clangers

A Hoot falls to the Clangers' planet. It rolls down a crater and falls to a deep cave. It hoots and Tiny Clanger fetches it out. The Hoot Planet appears to collect it. They dance. When it is time for the Hoots to go, the pipe-organ that Tiny Clanger made in Episode 12 makes a squeaking noise and wants to go with them. The Hoot Planet lowers ropes find it is hooked on. Unfortunately it moves off before Tiny can dismount. Tiny is carried away. Small Clanger sees her. He gives chase on the cloud. Major Clanger follows with the music boat. The Hoot Planet is going to a celestial musical gathering. Tiny Clanger stands on the organ and conducts the Music of the Spheres. Major Clanger arrives to carry her home.
