Pecola decides that Cube Town?s melancholy poet, Mr. Lonely, is too somber and needs to have some fun. The feisty penguin takes Mr. Lonely to every fun spot he knows in Cube Town but the poet seems to be getting grumpier. In the end Pecola realizes that his idea of fun may not work for everyone. Mr. Lonely likes his peace and quiet just as much as Pecola likes his noise and perpetual motion.;When Pecola decides to use Dr. Chu?s super vacuum to remove stains from some of his pals? clothing, he inadvertently manages to vacuum out their personalities too!

Pecola is taking over for Cori at the café while she goes to watch a movie. All he asks in exchange is a free sandwich, and Pecola invents his own. It's called Pecola's Penguin Special, a delectable combination of peanuts, black jellybeans, blueberries and whipped cream between two slices of bread. But as soon as he goes to eat it, the café fills with customers, all wanting something to eat. This presents a bit of a problem, since Pecola's not allowed to use the stove - but Robo-Pecola can. Robo-Pecola serves up the orders, but they're not quite edible since they were made robot-style (lots of nuts, bolts and gears). So it's a Pecola's Penguin Special for everyone! And according to Mr. Lonely they're delicious!;Pecola is being outdone and upstaged by Robo-Pecola. The robot is much better at helping than Pecola is. Pecola won't stand for it, so he puts on a disguise and looks remarkably like his mechanical counterpart. Now off to prove he's just as good as Robo-Pecola. Pecola tidies up Dr. Chu's lab, mows the lawn, and now he has to deliver Hornbender's repaired telescope back to the observatory. How to manage such a job with only a penguin's strength? Roll it down the street, of course. Except that it kinda gets out of control. Robo-Pecola to the rescue! It seems that some jobs are better left to the robot.

Pecola can?t swim, so thank goodness he is rescued when his inflatable seahorse loses its plug. But who is this rescuer? Golagola is a sea creature, lost a long way from home and in need of a friend. So Pecola decides to take him home and show him Cube Town. Unfortunately the rest of the town sees Golagola as more of curiosity to be shown off and celebrated. This is not the life Golagola wants, he just wants to go back to his home. Good thing Dr. Chu is such a brilliant mouse. In no time he?s figured out where Golagola is from and is set to take him there in his submarine.;It?s Mayor Papazoni?s birthday and Pecola is going to make sure that everyone in Cube Town knows about it. But when he and the mayor visit people, it seems everyone has forgotten it and Pecola never gets a chance to mention it. Papazoni figures it?s because he hasn?t done the things he says he was going to and the citizens are all angry with him. So he and Pecola do a major clean and shine on Cube Town- which they finish just in time for Papazoni?s surprise party. So that?s why everyone was avoiding Papazoni all day, they were saving the secret!

Dr. Chu has invented a robot that he hopes will teach Pecola a lesson about how to behave. Robo-Pecola looks exactly like his penguin counterpart, problem is he?s not quite perfect yet. So when Pecola accidentally turns him on, he?s off through Cube Town, wreaking havoc and leaving Pecola to take the blame. It?s now up to Chewy and Pecola to catch the robot and clear Pecola?s name (at least for the time being).;A suspicious character appears in Cube Town. Who is this foreign alligator? Catching this spy is the perfect job for Detective Pecola and Secret Agent Chewy. And when Robo-Pecola and Professor Hornbender?s telescope disappear, the search escalates - this alligator must be a thief too! Officer Kumada is also hot on the heels of this supposed thief when he catches up to the boys. He has found Pecola?s footprints all over the crime scenes. An explanation, please? It wouldn?t have anything to do with Robo-Pecola (who also has Pecola-sized penguin footprints) being out and about, would it? And what of this alligator? He?s disappeared without a trace, hmmm?

Rudy is Pecola?s friend but he can be a handful. He brags constantly, he?s kind of rude and very self-centered.

Pecola and his pals find what they believe is an old pirate?s treasure map buried on the beach and they are off on a treasure hunt. As the search intensifies the group comes to realize that finding the prize is secondary in importance to actually enjoying the search together as friends and as a team.;The mysterious Al A Gator shows up in town and suddenly everyone in Cube Town is talking about this intriguing fellow...and ignoring Pecola. Pecola wants the spotlight back, so he decides to don a raincoat and carry a briefcase just like Al A Gator and put a little ?mystery? into his life as well. He attracts attention all right, but a little too much as he uses his camera to take pictures of the locals and they resent having their privacy invaded! In the end Pecola learns a lesson about respecting the privacy of others and the townspeople learn a lesson about trust and openness.

It?s spring-cleaning day in Cube Town and Pecola wants to help. Never mind that Pecola?s ?help? isn?t exactly wanted. But there goes a butterfly! It catches Pecola?s attention and he follows the butterfly through Cube Town. But he?s paying little attention to what?s on the ground and causing even more of a mess. Paint splattered everywhere, watermelons smashed on the streets, and lots of dirty sheets for Aunty Yorkshire. Pecola promises to clean up the mess he?s caused, starting with Aunty Yorkshire?s sheets. He puts them all in the machine with ?oops- the whole box of soap, enough to cause the machine to overflow. Oh no, Cube Town is covered in suds, but when the rain washes them away, Cube Town is sparking clean, all thanks to Pecola. Maybe his help isn?t so bad after all.;What started out as a joke on Pecola has become a giant, fire-breathing, vampire Monster Moth! Built by none other than Rudy, Little Chu and Pecola out of Chewy?s pedal-copter invention with a few accessories added on. Now, off to provide a little excitement to the citizens of Cube Town, Pecola is pilot and pedaller of the Monster Moth, flying it all around and adding some fancy loops and dives too. Instilling fear and terror in the minds of everyone. It?s only when Pecola runs out of steam and is forced to make a crash landing that the myth of the Monster Moth is dispelled. That was more than enough excitement for one day!
