Synopsis[]
The Flea tells his little sister a bedtime story about the time that the toilet came to life and threatened them when Mr. and Mrs. Flea weren't home one night. In a scary unfolding of the tale, Rikochet and Buena Girl arrive to help the Flea battled this horrific and tidy, blue, bowled monster.
Plot[]
The Flea is telling Pulgita a scary bedtime story in which Mr. Flea finds a new toilet with a masked seat. The Flea could sense that the toilet was evil, and then the toilet almost "bites" The Flea's head off. The Flea tries to tell his parents that the toilet is cursed, but they don't listen. His parents have to leave now, and tell The Flea to shower tonight - The Flea's worst nightmare. The Flea tries to face it, but the Masked Toilet comes to scrub The Flea. So he rolls in mud. But then Pulgita calls him back. The Flea promises Pulgita to save Pulgita from the toilet.
Meanwhile, at Rikochet's house, Rikochet is playing Masked Chess with Buena Girl when the phone rings. Rikochet ignores the call, but Buena Girl smashes the board. Rikochet and Buena Girl go to ask The Flea for a new chessboard and hear a bang.
Buena Girl smelled and found out about the battle. They investigate and hear banging in Pulgita's room, but then just find Pulgita. Masked Dog returns Pulgita's bear. This was a trap for the toilet and Rikochet and Buena Girl almost fell into the trap. The Flea is too scared to go in but Rikochet just simply uses the bathroom. The Flea investigates and the toilet beats him up. Rikochet and Buena Girl battle the toilet but get hurt. Meanwhile, Masked Dog is feeding Pulgita, as they hear the battle.
The toilet is ahead at first, when Buena Girl gets trapped in the hamper and Rikochet and The Flea are flinged in different directions. Buena Girl does her Buena Bulldozer of Truth on the Toilet and misses. She gets crushed by the fridge. The toilet is after Pulgita. The Flea goes to save his sister but she saves herself - she beats the toilet into submission. The Flea thinks he beat the toilet.
The Flea finishes the story and tucks Pulgita in, as the Mask from the Toilet has now possessed the microwave!
