Synopsis

Dr. Chu has invented a robot which, he hopes, will teach Pecola a lesson about how to behave. Robo-Pecola looks exactly like his penguin counterpart; the problem is that he's not quite perfect yet. So when Pecola accidentally turns him on, he's off through Cube Town, wreaking havoc and leaving Pecola to take the blame. It's now up to Chewy and Pecola to catch the robot and clear Pecola's name (at least for the time being).
