Other dub names: On a Roll (4Kids), Locked In! (Studio 100)

Pin finishes building a large cistern in Barry's garden. Dokko makes calculations and informs Barry that now his vegetables can withstand any drought. Suddenly, Carlin finds out that the tank is leaking. While Carlin, Dokko, Pin, Krash, and Chiko go inside the tank to find a leak, Barry asks them to do a lunch break and gives everyone rolls. Suddenly, the hatch slams shut, locking KikoRiki inside.

Pin tries to open the hatch from the inside, but it doesn't work. Krash tries to use Morse code, and Chiko gets a severe attack of claustrophobia. The sun begins to heat the tank, and KikoRiki start jumping from the heat. Chiko can't take it anymore, and starts running around the tank, causing it to take off, roll through the forest, and fall into the sea.

A hole appears in the floor, but Krash quickly plugs it with Dokko's pencil. Carlin suggests his friends to work together to get out of the situation. They turn the tank and lead it to the shore. A wave picks up the tank and smashes it against the ground. Now everyone is free, but Barry is saddened by the loss of his new tank. Carlin comforts him, promising to build a new one.

Tropes:

  • 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The tank itself is drawn using 3D graphics.
  • Bottle Episode: The plot is tied up in the fact that KikoRiki are accidentally locked in a tank.
  • By the Lights of Their Eyes: When the hatch closes, only the eyes of the characters are visible. Averted by the rest of the episode, as all characters can be clearly seen while stuck in a tank.
  • Claustrophobia: Chiko starts panicking shortly after getting locked up. The second time he panics, he accidentally causes the tank to roll into the sea.
  • Tempting Fate: As soon as Dokko asks his friends if the hatch can lock, the door immediately shuts down, getting KikoRiki to be stuck inside.
