Synopsis

Tiny oversleeps and doesn't turn the day on until way past time so Stretchy decides to make a Waker-Upper machine with a little help from Noisy. It performs admirably but Stretchy has forgotten to include a Switcher-Offer switch. They take it to the Wasteland where, it is hoped, it will run down. But Noisy has other ideas and with Tiny's help, turns it into a musical instrument.
