Plot
Charlie Brown's friends each describes him. Charlie Brown is happy as usual and then his friends say that "You're a good man, Charlie Brown". In an appearance with Schroeder, he plays Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and Lucy sings along. She tries to talk to him that they should get married. Schroeder ignores her, then Lucy says "My Aunt Marian was right, never try to discuss marriage with a musician."
Charlie Brown has never been able to keep a kite in the air and he hopes that the day it would happen would be today, but he had once again failed. Sally was writing a letter to Ann Flanders about the valentines she gets. Charlie Brown writes a letter to his pencil pal about his downfall at his baseball game.
Charlie Brown gives Lucy a valentine and mistakenly says "This is for you Lucy, Merry Christmas." Charlie Brown sees Marcie and thinks that she is going to give him a valentine but she does not. Lucy comes up to Schroeder again and talks about saucepans, and, again, Schroeder cannot stand it.
Snoopy imagines that he is a wild animal. Charlie Brown, Schroeder, Linus, and Lucy work on their book reports on Peter Rabbit ("Book Report"). Lucy teaches Linus about nature in her own way while Charlie Brown tries to correct her.

Notes
The original 1967 musical version of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown featured the original Patty (not to be confused with the later character of Peppermint Patty) as part of the Peanuts gang. As characters like Patty, Violet and Shermy gradually faded from the group, Charles Schulz opted to replace the lesser known characters with Sally and Marcie.
