Other dub names: What a Chore (4Kids)
Krash and Chiko commissioned Pin a robot that would do all the chores for them. But when they arrive, the mechanic is nowhere to be seen.While searching for him, Chiko notices a drawing of a robot on the wall and suspects that something is wrong. After leaving the house, Krash and Chiko notice a chain of strange footprints in the sand. Krash suggests that Pin may have been abducted by Martians. Suddenly, a large robot appears from behind a pile of metal and pursues the duo. Krash escapes by jumping onto the hangar, but falls inside. This is where he finds Pin. The mechanic explains was an Iron Nanny, which he built for Krash. But the babysitter came out too caring, so the penguin decided to hide in the hangar and wait for Krash and Chiko to pick her up.
Then they hear Chiko's screams for help and see that the Iron Nanny caught him, put on a diaper and feeds him porridge. Krash distracts the babysitter, but is cornered on a pole. Pin also distracts the robot, but is quickly caught. Krash and Chiko rescue him with a fishing rod standing on top of the hangar. The babysitter climbs onto the roof after them and its weight causes all four to fall inside. The Iron Nanny has cornered Krash, Chiko and Pin, and seems like they're doomed. Suddenly, the robot stops moving and falls sideways: it ran out of batteries.
Krash now believes that they don't need a robot, because they can do all the housework themselves. Chiko notes that the robots still need to be serviced and have their batteries changed, causing even more nuisance than without them.
