A street fills up one stop at a time with five community helpers: a baker with bread at the bakery, a nurse at the clinic, a firefighter at the fire station, a bus driver beside a bus, and a librarian with a book at the library. The helpers are counted from one to five and wave, viewers are asked which job they would like to do, and the video ends on the recap that community helpers do jobs that help us all.
