| abstract | - Stu recieves an order from Mucklehoney Industries for 15,000 "Patty Pants" dolls. Unfortunately, the machine he invented to mass produce the dolls isn't working correctly due to it assembling the dolls incorrectly. While Stu goes upstairs to take a break and think of a way to correct his machine, Tommy and Chuckie accidentally toss Tommy's Zippo-Glider toy plane into the basement (where the machine is located) and go down to find it. When they reach the basement they find it to be full of interesting old junk. The babies explore this half of the basement without success before discovering the other half, where Stu's invention workshop is situated. There, they see the Zippo-Glider on top of the Patty Pants assembler and to climb on top in order to reach it. While attempting to climb the machine the babies accidentally turn it on and get caught up in the assembling process. Chuckie nearly falls off and when Tommy helps him back up he moves a lever from "Reverse" into "Forward". At once the machine begins to assemble proper Patty Pants dolls. Tommy and Chuckie are still on the assembly line however and are quickly fitted with Patty Pants dresses and wigs and shoes even have their cheeks painted pink before ending up in the box completed Patty Pants dolls are dumped into. Before Chuckie falls into the box he manages to grab the Zippo-Glider, making this adventure a success! Stu hears the racket from upstairs and comes down to see what's going on. He's delighted to see the assembler working properly, though he has no idea how it turned on in the first place (let alone how it was "fixed"). Stu brings the box upstairs to show Didi, who remarks about how lifelike the dolls are (neither one of them notice Tommy and Chuckie). Stu leaves the box upstairs while he goes to work on completing his order. When the grown-ups are gone Tommy and Chuckie climb out of the box and discard the Patty Pants garments. Tommy is happy Chuckie was able to grab his glider and allows Chuckie to throw it. The two friends watch it zip all over the living room before it glides downstairs again, much to their horror!
