In the eleventh episode of Fraggle Rock season 1, entitled "Catch the Tail by the Tiger," the Doozers are hard at work creating a new tower made entirely of sugar candy. However, when the tower becomes unstable and threatens to collapse, the Doozers need the Fraggles' help to save it.
As the Fraggles arrive on the scene, they can't resist the temptation of the sugary tower and begin to nibble on it, much to the dismay of the Doozers. Meanwhile, Gobo Fraggle becomes fixated on a game that he's been playing with his friend Wembley, called "Catch the Tail by the Tiger."
As Gobo and Wembley continue to play the game, they become increasingly competitive and start to take it too seriously. They also inadvertently cause chaos for the other Fraggles as they run and jump around trying to catch each other's tails.
Things come to a head when Gobo becomes so obsessed with winning the game that he ignores the danger posed by the unstable tower. As a result, the entire tower collapses, and Gobo realizes the error of his ways.
In the end, Gobo and Wembley reconcile and realize that their friendship is more important than any game. And with the help of all the Fraggles, they work together to rebuild the tower.
