"The characters prepare for Easter morning, when, according to Linus, the "Easter Beagle" will arrive and hand out Easter eggs to everybody. Nobody believes him, and they all go on their way. Lucy schemes to find all the eggs in the annual Easter Egg Hunt by planting all the eggs and recording their positions; Peppermint Patty and Marcie try to make Easter eggs, but Marcie instead fries, roasts, toasts, waffles, and finally makes soup from them. Fortunately for everybody (except Charlie Brown and Lucy), the Easter Beagle (played by Snoopy) arrives and hands out eggs (the ones Lucy planted for the egg hunt) to everyone. He runs out of eggs, so he gives Charlie Brown the basket."
