Plot[]

A trip to R-Fair City nearly turns into a monster mash when Hacker abducts Glowla, a beautiful cyberlady who generates pure energy. Hacker is able to snatch Glowla by reprogramming her trick whale, Spout. As a result, Spout goes on a rampage. Digit and the kids must find Glowla and stop Spout before he totally destroys R-Fair City.

Trivia[]

During the scene where Spout attacks the power plant, Sam Vander Rom's dialog differs between the American PBS Kids and the Canadian CBC Television/iTunes versions. The differences are as follows:

American version:

"Spout is approaching the Aqua Power Plant, we are now in Code Yellow, repeat, we are now in code yellow."
"Code blue, everybody code blue!"
This is it! We're now in code red! and I'm Sam Vander Rom, signing off!"

Canadian version:

"Spout is approaching the Aqua Power Plant. We are now in big trouble, repeat, we are now in big trouble!"
"Stay calm, everybody stay calm!"
"Spout's approaching the main generator!"
"This is it, he's going after it! And I'm Sam Vander Rom, signing off!"
