"Who Goes There?" (retitled to "What Goes There" on Treehouse TV schedules) is an episode of The Backyardigans from the third season. CharactersSummary"It's a madcap museum adventure set to spanish Flamenco as rookie Security Guard Tyrone tries to chase down some runaway works of art before Curator Tasha returns!" PlotTyrone is in the backyard wearing a blue hat and holding a flashlight. He introduces himself to the viewer and explains that today is his first day of being the night guard at the local art museum and starts to sing the song "Who Goes There?." The backyard transforms into the inside of an art museum. Tyrone walks over to Tasha. Tasha tells him that she is the museum's curator while showing him the exhibits in the museum. Tasha walks into a room, revealing an easel holding a blank paper. Tasha tells Tyrone that he will have to keep the room extra clean because it will be a new exhibit. Tyrone accepts Tasha's information while she leaves the building. Tyrone sings the second verse of "Who Goes There?". When he finishes the verse, he sits in a wooden chair and falls asleep snoring. Meanwhile, a statue of a military general named General Pablo opens its eyes and starts walking to the oil painting room. He tells a painting of a woman holding an umbrella named Uniqua that it is "time." The character in the painting jumps from it, becoming a 3-D living being. The two walks into the Greek art room and tell a painting on a vase named Austicles that it is "time." The figure on the vase becomes a 3-D being too. Austicles recites a poem about how nighttime is better than daytime because the art gets to play during night hours. Pablo and Uniqua applaud. They sing "Tired of Hanging Around." Uniqua tells General Pablo he is "it," and they all begin playing tag. Then there was trouble: Pablo stumbles into a mummy's tomb and causes the line of tombs to tip over like dominoes. And they an alarm goes off, and Tyrone wakes up on the chair as Uniqua, Pablo, and Austin hurry to push the tombs back up. Tyrone runs into the room with his flashlight and searches the room for thieves. He then spots the statues and mistakes them for real people. Tyrone then realizes his mistake and walks out of the room. The art continues their game of tag. They play for a while until they meet up with Tyrone again in the oil painting room. The three all become 2-dimensional figures in a painting of a flower garden. The painting tips to the left as Austicles recites another poem about how flowers make him sneeze. The trio rushes to another bush, but Austicles realizes that all the bushes have flowers. Uniqua sticks her fingers up his nose to prevent him from sneezing. Then there was trouble: The painting tips over to the right, creating a thud noise. Tyrone rushes over to the painting, realizing nothing happened. Austicles sneezes, and Tyrone exclaims, "Gesundheit!" as a response to his sneezing. Austicles thanks him for wishing him good health as Tyrone realizes that the painting is talking. The trio of art jumps out of the painting after failing to convince Tyrone that Austicles did not speak. Tyrone chases them as they all sing "The Art is on the Loose." Uniqua, Pablo, and Austicles jump into a painting of horses in a desert, but Tyrone grabs Austicles' tail causing him to jump in too. Uniqua, Pablo, and Austicles jump onto a horse and out of the painting. Tyrone jumps on another horse and jumps out too. The art characters get off their horse and enter the room reserved for the new exhibit. Tyrone remembers that Tasha told him to keep the room extra clean, and alarmed runs into the room. Tyrone tells the art that "enough is enough," They taunt him, and he closes the door, so they wouldn't escape. But then the art jumps into the blank paper, and while they gloat, Tyrone picks up a paintbrush and a paint palette. They all sing the song "The Splatter Paint Flamenco" as Tyrone splats paint onto the paper, trying to paint the art. Tyrone tells the art that they are too good at running and he will be fired because the museum is a mess. The art tells him that they are done playing and will help clean up before morning. The art and Tyrone clean the rooms until they hear Tasha's voice. Tyrone greets her and tells her that the museum is "pretty much" how she left it. Tasha questions why he said "pretty much" as she enters the room reserved for the new exhibit. Tasha is astonished and angrily asks Tyrone if he did the painting. Tyrone answers yes, sadly. Tasha tells him that the painting is beautiful and she will hang it up in the museum. Tyrone is fascinated and surprised because he thought she would surely fire him. The art runs over to him and congratulates Tyrone as Tasha screams. Tasha, scared, asks Tyrone about the art of talking. Tyrone tells her that he realized museum exhibits come alive at night to play games. Austicles recites a poem about strange things in the museum when it is night, but when the daylight comes, the art always comes to their poses. Uniqua invites them all over for tea and crumpets at her house as the museum transforms back into the backyard and Austicles transforms back to Austin. They sing the end song and enter Uniqua's house. Tyrone opens the previously closed door and exclaims, "Who goes there?" Roles
