Synopsis
When Wubbzy is made fun of because of his bendy tail when he finds someone to play kickety-kick ball, he adventures to his friends when a giant robotic chicken is on the loose and Wubbzy must stop the Robo-Cluck 3000.
Plot
On a sunny day in Wuzzleburg, Wubbzy is shown kicking his kickety-kick ball onto some trees and he runs across the park and he asks some kids on the swings to play with him, but one calls his tail kooky, but Wubbzy digresses and tells him he has a very cool ball but is ignored because of how long and bendy and kooky his tail is and the kids walk away. Wubbzy tries again with four kids playing with their balls at the playground but they also walk away, and Wubbzy sees this as if he needs to disguise his tail.
Wubbzy then uses leaves to disguise his tail as a "normal, every-day tree branch" before Birdy Bird lands on his tail and the leaves fall off and the two kids he tries to ask to play ball with him call it wacky and kooky and walk away. Wubbzy then goes down to Widget's workshop to ask her if she wants to play but she is busy building her latest invention, a robotic chicken that lays over a hundred eggs a minute, named the Robo-Cluck 3000, but as Wubbzy approaches the controls for it, he accidentally pulls a lever, activating the robot and it makes a mess at Widget's workshop and escapes and Wubbzy, after apologizing, blames his tail on the damage on it has done, and asks Widget to fix his tail for him.
Widget then builds a machine to customize Wubbzy's tail, but backfires ultimately three times, with an extremely curly tail, an inflated tail and a funky disco-like tail, and they go off to see Walden to see what the problem with his tail is, Walden isn't seeing anything wrong but Wubbzy says it's long and bendy and it's why people won't play with him, but Walden and Widget try to persuade him that he's perfect no matter if he's kooky, showcasing many creatures that are kooky, but Wubbzy isn't budging.
The Robo-Cluck 3000 then breaks into Walden's observatory and now they must stop it before it destroys Walden's dinosaur bones, but Widget left her tools at her workshop, so it's up to Wubbzy to stop it with a tail by shaping it as a Wiggle Wrench and bouncing to the shoulders of the robot, and Wubbzy tries to figure out which bolt is the correct one, the red or blue one and chooses to tighten both and it causes the Robo-Cluck 3000 to implode and be commended for saving the dinosaur bones, thanks to his tail.
Sooner then, the kids who made fun of his tail are now impressed about his tail and him, and they ask if they can play kickety-kick ball with him and he plays with them.
"Flutterflies short"
Wubbzy is chasing a flutterfly, and he is confused where it is and he asks the audience where it is and after two failed attempts to find it, he gives up and leaves and a bunch of flutterflies fly his way.
