Synopsis
What started out as a joke on Pecola has become a giant, fire-breathing, vampire Monster Moth, built by none other than Rudy, Little Chu and Pecola out of Chewy's pedal-copter invention with a few accessories added on! Now off to provide a little excitement to the citizens of Cube Town. Pecola is pilot and pedaler of the Monster Moth, flying it all around, and adding some fancy loops and dives, too, instilling fear and terror in the minds of everyone. It's only when Pecola runs out of steam and he is forced to make a crash landing that the myth of the Monster Moth is dispelled. That was more than enough excitement for one day!
