rdfs:comment
  • Shortly before dinner time, criminals Rocky, Meek and Moose are planning to hide from the police in Castle Frank N. Stein, but Meek isn't too keen on the idea. Inside, Chuck D. Head and Igor are trying to listen in on Professor Frank N. Stein's cooking when they are attacked by an explosion of giant fruit and vegetables. Frank believes he can now cure world hunger, but the foul taste of the carrots makes Chuck wonder if they'll die first of food poisoning. The disagreement is interrupted by the appearance of the criminals who hold the residents at gunpoint. As Rocky explains they'll be staying there, Igor recognises their luggage as The Maltese Budgies, four speaking birds that have been kidnapped, a million pound ransom on their heads.

  • Shortly before dinner time, criminals Rocky, Meek and Moose are planning to hide from the police in Castle Frank N. Stein, but Meek isn't too keen on the idea. Inside, Chuck D. Head and Igor are trying to listen in on Professor Frank N. Stein's cooking when they are attacked by an explosion of giant fruit and vegetables. Frank believes he can now cure world hunger, but the foul taste of the carrots makes Chuck wonder if they'll die first of food poisoning. The disagreement is interrupted by the appearance of the criminals who hold the residents at gunpoint. As Rocky explains they'll be staying there, Igor recognises their luggage as The Maltese Budgies, four speaking birds that have been kidnapped, a million pound ransom on their heads. With the kitchen door open, Frank realises in horror that he has left his turnips simmering. Rocky laughs at the idea of mushy veg, but is soon scowling when the giant food erupts and knocks him over. The heroes grab the birds and lock themselves in the kitchen, where Frank takes his secret growth formula and feeds the budgies. The bulky birds suddenly burst through the door, beating the villains severely with rolling pins and pans from the kitchen. As a baffled Igor explains, the "Teenage Maltese Budgies" went on to become famous crime fighters, starred in a television series and became a range of posable action figures - and nobody ever understood a word they said.
