Synopsis
The Odd Couple
A blizzard hits Knothole and Dulcy’s crash landing flattens Sonic’s hut, so he moves in with Antoine. Neat freak meets slob: Antoine trails after his guest tidying up, and Sonic’s late-night chili-dog cooking leaves the kitchen a disaster.
When Sonic starts “sleep-racing” and leaves a trail of destruction, Antoine finally snaps and goes on a giggling rampage. By the time the others investigate, Sonic is heading out into the snow to rebuild his own hut. Another night with Antoine is more than he can take.
Ro-Becca
During a rainstorm Rotor puts the finishing touches to a robot assistant, Ro-Becca, then has to step out. Antoine switches her on by accident, and Ro-Becca falls for him on the spot. She pursues him all over Knothole and, when he catches a cold, tries to cure it with “tough love”.
Rotor can’t reprogram her affections, so Antoine puts on an outrageous accent and Ro-Becca is disgusted. Then Sonic mocks him in a silly French accent, and Ro-Becca falls for Sonic instead.
Two comical 11-minute episodes about Antoine. The Odd Couple is about Antoine sharing his hut with Sonic during a winter blizzard after Dulcy accidentally crashes into it, and their ensuing lifestyle clashes (Antoine being neat, with Sonic being sloppy). Ro-Becca is about a lovesick robot that falls for Antoine.
