Plot
The episode starts when Devious opens a box and pulls out mechanical parts. Laughing maniacally, he puts the parts together, only for them to fall off repeatedly. He decides to avoid reading the instruction manual because he thinks it would take too long, so he just attaches the parts with chewing gum. After a while, the screen reveals a crudely-designed spider-like robot. Devious climbs inside and takes control of the robot, and brings it into town.

Meanwhile, Splendid is seen feeding pigeons in the park. Suddenly he hears Flaky's screams and sees her coming toward him. She warns him about a robot destroying everything and then runs for her life. Splendid flies to the scene of the crime.

In the town, Devious uses the robot to trample random buildings and objects, enjoying himself. Splendid arrives in the nick of time, just as Devious was about to destroy a huge skyscraper. Seeing the hero, Devious decides to bring out the laser to vaporize him. He pushed the button, but nothing happened.

Devious climbs into the machine's control system. He crawls through a bunch of wires, unknowingly scrambing the controls of the robot, making it dance. As several tree friends watch in amusement, Splendid sits on a bench reading a newspaper.

Having moved some wires, Devious finally reaches the laser's controls. Devious laughs and then pushes a button, and it works. However, the laser is aimed at him, and he couldn't move since he was entangled with wires and stuck to gum. The robot explodes, sending Devious into the air. He lands in the park and Splendid throws some bird seeds on him, making hungry pigeons rip him to shreds.

Splendid goes to dispose of the charred robot by throwing it away. However, he accidentally throws it into the giant skyscraper. As a result, the skyscraper falls and crushes everyone. Splendid flies away pretending not notice.
