Ratchet and Crank

Ratchet and Crank is a HTFF episode. This episode introduces Ratchet the steampunk bat.

Plot
Crank is once again up to his usual antics, grinding his organ while his chimp assistant Grinder dances for an audience. The delighted crowd leaves coins in Grinder's fez. Crank's arm gets tired, so he stops winding his organ. The instrument is accidentally dropped on the ground and shatters.

The duo sighs over this predicament. However, Ratchet comes along and introduces them to his latest invention: a steam-powered organ grinder. By simply dropping a quarter into the machine's coin slot, it plays a wonderful melody. Crank happily decides to purchase the organ and pays Ratchet before taking it. Soon after the pair leaves, Ratchet realizes he has been duped with counterfeit coins.

At the park, Crank puts his new organ to the test. The machine proves its purpose and allows Crank to rest his arms as Grinder continues receiving coins from the spectators. After the performance, Crank collects the money Grinder earned. Grinder demands a tip, so Crank flicks a coin for him to catch, unknowingly tossing it into the organ. Grinder inserts his hand into the coin slot and is instantly pulled into the machine, his remains coming out the other end as it plays. Crank turns his head to find that his partner has mysteriously vanished. An angry Ratchet approaches Crank to complain about the earlier trick. Crank devises another scheme; he promises to pay the inventor if he builds a robotic monkey.

Within a matter of hours, Ratchet returns with just that. His steam-powered robot immediately starts dancing, attracting a big crowd and big sums of money. Crank goes to get his pay, but the robot isn't willing to share. A squabble leads to Crank being thrown towards the organ and getting sucked into it head first. Ratchet initially shows shock at what his invention has done, until Crank's intestines come of out like a sausage chain, thus giving him a new idea.

Later, Ratchet turns his organ into a meat grinder. He demonstrates by inserting a pound of meat into the coin slot. Boz, a butcher, shows interest in the product. Just as the episode draws to a close, the machine coughs out Grinder's fez and then a heart.
