Title card[]
The title card features Peep, Chirp, and Quack sitting on Peep's can. Quack is looking around, and near the end of the title, he shakes his head in surprise after he sees the Moon for a second time.
Condensed summary[]
Quack thinks there are many moons in the sky despite all the evidence that says otherwise.
Expanded summary[]
The screen fades in to the sky. The hummingbirds are later seen humming as they watch Chirp and Peep making drawings of the moon. When Chirp adds craters and specks to the moon drawing, Peep asks: "How do you remember all that?" Chirp says: "I don't have to remember it. The Moon's right there." Peep gasps when he sees the moon...in broad daylight. Excited, he recommends telling Quack. But when they do, he just replies with the statement "You're looking at the day moon." Peep gets very confused. His eyes shrink and also cross. Chirp says Quack is wrong, and she says that there is only one moon.
A few days later, the birds see the moon orange (lunar eclispe) so Quack claims it’s the orange moon. When morning comes, Chirp tells Quack to prove that there are more than one moon so Quack asks Beaver Boy. Quack tries to stay up to see if there is more than one moon. When morning comes, Quack tells Chirp and Peep that he saw five moons and that Chirp flew him to the biggest one. Chirp tells Quack she didn’t fly him to the moon, making Quack realize it was a dream. So later, Peep, Chirp, and Quack are sitting on Peep's can, trying to prove their moon theories. Quack (who is usually quite foolish) turns around one time and says "Okay, that's one moon," and then turns around again and says "There's another one! Er, that's two!" Peep explains that it's the same moon. Upset, Quack says "Good eye Peep. I guess." Bat then flies in being no help at all, then leaving. Beaver Boy arrives and says he agrees with Quack. But no one else (not even Peep) agrees with him.
Later, many other animals try to prove Quack is wrong, including Hummingbird, Rabbit, and Squirrel. Hoot and Bat arrive with Hoot saying that Quack, Peep, Chirp, Rabbit, Squirrel, and Hummingbird are bothering the night animals. Quack tells Hoot that he is trying to prove that the sky has many moons and even mentions the one in the day. So Hoot, determined to end the debate, stays up during the day when she sees the Moon. She takes the birds over to Newton, "the oldest animal around", who claims he has never seen two or more moons. The episode ends with Quack walking away, having somehow made his point, while Newton falls asleep and Peep, Chirp, and Hoot, who are sure there is only one moon, go home sleepily.

Trivia[]
- This is the only episode where Hoot is seen during the day, as she is nocturnal.
- Actually, Quack and Beaver Boy are right, from a certain perspective. There are other moons, Mars has two moons named Phobos and Deimos, Jupiter has between 80 and 92 moons, Saturn has 146 moons, Uranus has 27 moons, Neptune has 13 moons and Pluto has three moons. But they can't be seen from Earth (unless one uses a telescope). But the earth only has only one known moon.
- The moon was most likely orange due to a lunar eclipse.
