First, in the City, Curious George tests the bounce factor of the living room furniture, but then he hears a heavy sound generating above the ceiling. Well, the Man with the Yellow Hat explains to Curious George that a new neighbor has moved in upstairs last week, and so this must be whom Curious George has heard, instead of some wild animal upstairs.
Now, this evening, Curious George reads from a wild animal book while in bed, considering that it must be a wild animal upstairs because the chandelier keeps swinging, and so he drags the Man with the Yellow Hat from bed to explain that it must be a wild elephant upstairs. But the Man with the Yellow Hat, instead of agreeing, hands Curious George a happy sleep-time mode book for pleasant bedtime reading.
Well, Curious George figures that if it isn't an elephant's walking around upstairs, then it must be an elephant's doing something else, but what? Then, the next morning, the Man with the Yellow Hat reports that he didn't sleep at all last night, while Curious George listens as a percolator drips, a faucet leaks, birds flutter outdoors, and traffic echoes from the streets below, so Curious George figures that there are plenty of new sounds to hear.
Then, when Curious George observes the balcony upstairs, he scales the building with a rope, but the Man with the Yellow Hat admonishes Curious George not to spy on new upstairs neighbor, and the Man with the Yellow Hat, instead, suggests that they introduce themselves after the Man with the Yellow Hat returns from work.
And then, when the Man with the Yellow Hat prepares to leave, Curious George maintains that the new neighbor isn't an elephant, but has a pet elephant, before Curious George listens to City sounds, as a chainsaw, a jackhammer and a gift-wrapping machine at Mabel's Department Store, before Curious George goes to City Zoo to observe an elephant in action, to figure that this must not be what he hears, and so he draws a Galápagos giant tortoise who has been wrapping gifts and making juice, to show to the doubting Man with the Yellow Hat.
But when the Man with the Yellow Hat finally hears the thumping, he decides that it's time to pay a visit. And, once upstairs, the Man with the Yellow Hat and Curious George visit Mr. Zoobel, an artist, who mixes paint and stamps it onto canvas on floor with rubber elephant foot stamp. And the sound of rocks' hitting the floor originated when a bag of groceries fell from his counter.
So, what do The Doorman and Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund figure the thumping sound to be as they arrive at Mr. Zoobel's door to hear "The Elephant Upstairs?"

Next, also in the City, on a summer afternoon, Curious George plays upon roof-top with Compass the Doorman's Almost-Homing Pigeon, when the Man with the Yellow Hat arrives to announce that it's time for Curious George to clean his room, and that he may play with Compass afterward, which he does. And then, when the Man with the Yellow Hat returns to announce that it's it's bath-time, Curious George bathes and exits to the balcony to play with Compass until it's time to brush his teeth.
Now, this evening, Curious George dreams of the Man with the Yellow Hat's many directives and then dreams of flying with Compass the Doorman's Almost-Homing Pigeon. And so, the next morning, Curious George decides to live like the pigeons, who don't have to wait for "Don't Walk" lights. Curious George, acting as a pigeon, interrupts a young couple's picnicking in Endless Park and falls into pond, thus losing his pigeon flock, and retiring his notion.
Then, as Gnocchi, Chef Pisghetti's pet Cat, sleeps outside of Chef Pisghetti's Restaurant, Curious George figures that this is the life because cats sleep when they want, do not have to bathe and do not have to clean their rooms.
And then, Curious George visits pet shoppe, to decide which animal he's like to be, a bunny? a chameleon? a fish? Well, Curious George is not able to hold his breath underwater.... a turtle? They choose their own bed-times, by pulling their heads inside of their shells. But none of these seem to suit Curious George's aptitudes.
Well, the Doorman welcomes Curious George back into the lobby, where Curious George observes Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund, who seems to spend most of the day playing, and so this looks like fun to Curious George, but walking upon the carpets on all fours burns Curious George's hands, so Curious George runs upstairs to apply four boots and a feather duster to his tail to impersonate a lobby dog.
Yet, when Curious George and Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund welcome Baby Dante and his mother, Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund finds Baby Dante's ball, and Curious George retrieves a resident's pen to return, before Delivery Man hands Doorman a parcel to carry upstairs, so Curious George decides that it's not all that easy to be a lobby dog.
But when The Doorman, Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund and Curious George embark into the elevator to deliver the parcel, a power outage stalls them into place, and so The Doorman suggests for Curious George to return to monkey mode, to scale through the roof, to alert the Man with the Yellow Hat, to report the stalled elevator to the Fire Department, while Curious George delivers a flashlight and radio to the stranded Doorman and Hundley.
So, when Andie, Stig and Stew, Firefighter members of Rescue Squad 86, arrive to attempt to rescue The Doorman and Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund from the idle elevator, do you think that Curious George might finally rather take a bath, brush his teeth and go to bed in nice clean room, instead of "Being Hundley?"
