All kinds of animals show up at a young girl's house, each enjoying the special tea party to which they have been invited. Certain animals, however, simply lack the decorum for a proper tea. While cleaning up afterward, the young girl realizes that certain activities are best left to humans.

Two dolls decide to have tea but realize their hair is too messy for a proper tea party. They try brushing it but to no avail. They imagine other solutions, like a bird bath, a car wash, and then (A-HA!) they realize they should go to the beauty parlor where they receive the royal treatment. After a shampoo, cut, blow dry and curl, they emerge (TA-DA!) covered in many, many barrettes as little girls often do when they do their own hair, or play beauty parlor. Finally, fancied up, the dolls sit down for tea.
