The Rescue Rangers are rummaging in the junk pile of a human inventor. Dale is playing a video game console which glitches during play. Gadget fixes the console on the fly and Dale continues playing. Chip complains that they are not doing anything important. The inventor, Ignatz Stanivslawski, now puts the finishing touches on a robotic cat, made most notably from a toaster and an electric lamp. The inventor says proudly that he will give the robot, Tom, a fur coat "just like a real cat" if he catches mice. Stanivslawski activates Tom, who finds and chases the Rangers. The Rangers fight Tom off and he eventually trips and falls because of the clutter in the room. Stanivslawski angrily throws Tom outside for failing. Gadget is sympathetically outraged as this treatment and argues with Monty that she could rehabilitate Tom with Dale's game cartridge. Over Chip's misgivings, they take Tom's deactivated body home to be hacked.

Gadget inserts the game cartridge into Tom's toaster body and reactivates him; sure enough, he turns out to be sweet and gentle, even appearing to gain Monty's trust. Chip insults him and calls him a tin can who won't be petted. Tom admits that he won't be "real" until he has fur. The Rescue Rangers go out to search for something for him.
