Synopsis

Rob, the owner of the appliances of which refers to as "the master", is working in a laboratory where he tends to injured animals. Whilst working on a thesis the computer crashes, thanks to a virus from Wittgenstein, a supercomputer. The appliances then seek to help the master by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his virus, hence recovering the master's thesis. Meanwhile, in a duel plot of the film Mack, the master's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending too for experimentation on. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him run-down in a basement. The computer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, namely the WFC 11-12-55. The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death. In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to a factory to find the hard-to-find WFC 11-12-55 tube. When they come back with the last apparent tube for miles, Radio accidentally breaks the tube, and it seems that all hope is lost. The appliances are then very dirty on Radio, and he then feels very guilty. He then sacrifices his own tube which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving him a lifeless appliance. Apparently, the appliance’s replaced the tube in the nick of time; with the boosted power of the new tube, Wittgenstein miraculously regenerates the other smashed tubes connected to him and is completely revived to as good as new. By the end of the film, the appliances restore the master's thesis and stop Mack from selling the injured animals, Radio's tube is replaced (hence his revival) and all is well.

Although this was the third and last film released in the series, it appears to be the second in plot sequence. This is indicated in Goes to Mars by the fact that the group is already familiar with Wittgenstein the supercomputer, and by the fact that he is referred to as "our old college buddy." Also, Rob proposes to his girlfriend in this movie, while in the second movie the two are married with a baby. Rob is in college in this film.
