Synopsis

Tired of chores, Zeke draws himself a convenient robot double who takes care of all the boring jobs Zeke's supposed to do. Brilliant! All goes well until Zeke realizes that the robot, who takes his work very seriously, is getting carried away. Not to mention that he's making Zeke look like a total suck-up. Zeke decides a few modifications are in order, so he draws the robot to be a cooler version of drone- basically exactly like Zeke. Turns out the robot is so cool, he moves in on Maxine and asks her out. When Zeke tells the robot to stop, it refuses and goes on a rampage, making Zeke look bad. Stuck in a detention that the robot carefully framed Zeke into, Zeke sees the robot asking Maxine out for a slice again. Zeke realizes he has to stop this evil force and now! With Jay's help, Zeke lures the sneaky robot into a back alley, and a Western-style showdown ensues. Zeke pulls out the pad to vanquish his enemy, but, to his surprise and horror, the robot has a pad, too. A zany draw-out unfolds, but who will be the fastest draw?

Production notes

Meet Zeke Palmer. He's definitely not your ordinary 14-year-old. Zeke's an incredible artist who lives smack dab in the middle of one weird and wacky family. AND he has this awesome little electronic drawing pad that is totally WIRED. Mysteriously wired. Somehow, it makes Zeke's drawings come to life. So extreme things can happen. And boy, do they HAPPEN! Being a creative artist, Zeke is constantly getting brain waves. So he draws them in his super-powered pad. But soon enough, Zeke learns: for every action, there is a reaction. Things just never turn out the way Zeke had imagined&. Ever.
