Ricky and his robot sleep under the stars, while every mouse in Squeekyville was watching TV. Meanwhile, in Venus, the Voodoo Vultures want to eat, good food so they shoot a laser beam to all of the TVs in Squeekyville. All of the TVs then start hypnotizing the mice who were watching TV. Ricky and his Mighty Robot realize the next morning that the mice were hypnotized and were ordered to take food to the army of Voodoo Vultures. Ricky comes up with a plan to make chocolate chip cookies, which are stuffed with hot peppers. Ricky then pretended to be hypnotized and takes the cookies to the vultures. The Voodoo Vulturers fall for the trick, and danced around in pain. This gives the Mighty Robot some time to break the remote control. The Squeekyville mice are now free, and they all flee back to their houses. Ricky's Mighty Robot then will need to fight the Voodoo Vultures. In the end, the Mighty Robot wins the fight. The Voodoo Vultures then fly back to Venus, except for the Voodoo Vultures' master, Victor Von Vulture. The Mighty Robot then puts him in jail. Ricky and his Mighty Robot came home on time.
