Jonathan takes his problem to City Hall and gets his first look at what bureaucratic bungling is all about. Munsch's story is entitled Jonathan Cleaned Up--Then He Heard a Sound., In this animated film, young Jonathan has a problem: a subway train persists in using his living room as a regular stop. The train appears the first time right after his mother has gotten everything clean. When the train comes through a second and third time, Jonathan's mother is there to see the hordes of people who litter and smudge the freshly painted walls. Jonathan goes to the mayor who tells him that the computer has designated his home as a subway stop. Undaunted, Jonathan investigates and discovers that computers are dependent on people for their operation.
