Plot[]
Professor Pig invents a machine that plants flowers in a pot, but it goes haywire and breaks the pot, causing Professor Pig to go after the machine. Foreman Pig walks past the room but then returns when he sees the blueprint. Seeing that there was potential in the machine the blueprint offered, he proceeded to steal the plans.
In the court, a Jester Pig was doing a ventriloquism act in an attempt to amuse King Pig as well as an audience of minnion pigs but it didn't make them laugh or even a bit happy they all just yawned. Suddenly, Foreman Pig gets into the court with his new machine. King Pig is impressed by Foreman Pig's invention and wants to know what it is used for. Foreman Pig proceeds to demonstrate how easy it was to steal the Flock's eggs if he was able to smash the birds. He proceeds to get three Minion Pigs wearing hats that resemble Red, Chuck, and Bomb as test subjects for the machine.
Once he got the three pigs, he started by smacking the Red Pig into a wall and then proceeded to smack down the Chuck Pig as well when the robot lifts his hand the Chuck Pig is stuck to it however the Chuck Pug simply peels off and falls to the floor and walks off in a huff. This causes the crowd to be excited. Just as Foreman Pig is about to smack down the Bomb Pig, the machine suddenly stops. King Pig is confused and Foreman Pig turns around and shrugs as the Bomb Pig sneaks away whistling. Foreman Pig starts looking through the manual as alarms go off around him. Foreman Pig pulls on a lever but which makes the machine suddenly goes forward, grabbing a hold of King Pig. The machine then reveres into one of the sections of the audience seats knocking one poor Pig out of his seat and fall into the top if the machine which starts spanking King Pig for no reason. Realizing he would get in trouble, Foreman Pig ejects himself out of the machine, launching outside in the air with a parachute, but lands right into a volcano.
The machine then treats King Pig like he is being dribbled like a basketball with everybody else enjoying the show, especially the bird pigs eating popcorn. It then throws King Pig into a wall before blowing up. Just before it finally stops, the machine spanks King Pig one last time.
Meanwhile, Professor Pig finally has the original machine working properly but Foreman Pig, who was all burnt without his mustache barged in, gives him back the burnt blueprint he deemed was worthless, and shouts at him. Professor Pig tries to take back the blueprint but it disintegrates.
