The episode begins with a Local 58 ID card,stating that the Show for Children slow starts at 4:15 am. The broadcast displays a bumper with a clown figure signifying the start of the slow before fading into the titles for the animated cartoon "Cadavre".

The animation begins with the titular character Cadavre walking in a graveyard at night while the moon watches overhead. He comes across an empty grave, where he thinks he will be able to find his wife. Peeking into the grave, Cadavre instead finds a realistically drawn skeletal corpse, which frightens him and causes him to run away. Scared by what he has found, Cadavre walks around the graveyard some more and finds another open grave. He peeks into it and discovers the decayed form of a bird-like creature which makes a noise at him. Cadavre, once again, runs away.

The weather becomes windy, and Cadavre has become even more unnerved. After walking further through the graveyard, he finds another open grave which leads into a seemingly bottomless hole. Descending into it and finding himself in a cave, Cadavere continues walking but is extremely cold and weak.

After some time, Cadavre is shown lying on the ground, staring up at the entrance to the grave he came down from where the bottomless pit he saw seems to be stretching upward. The moon slowly slides into view and Cadavre is suddenly shown as an inanimate skeleton. The cartoon ends with the Local 58 clown figure bumper from before, saying "See You Next Time".
