Feeling guilty, Sharky agrees to take her place in battling Roboticus. Sharky goes into training, but all the pain and discomfort does not prepare him, and he faints at the sight of Roboticus. However, Eek spills a bucket of water over the robot, causing it to short-circuit and fall over, and Sharky crawls out from underneath it to be declared the winner. The episode parodies Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Rocky, and Karate Kid. |
