The 26 letters of the alphabet appear on cards one at a time and are counted up to 26, then the A card shows that big A and small a are the same letter, and every card gets its small letter. To finish, the word HAT beside a picture of a hat changes one letter at a time into hat, which still says hat, and the video ends on the recap "26 letters, big and small".
