Too bad Robbie gets a hold of the machine and uses it to make Sportacus vanish! Pixel soon realizes there is no easy way - he didn’t make the chores go away, they’re just invisible. The only way to solve a problem is to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work. Can Pixel right his wrong before all of LazyTown is gone from sight?

Kid's Challenge/Play/Sport: The kids rooms are really messy and need a clean-up. They have to find a way to clean it quickly and properly. Sportacus is also doing spring cleaning up in his air-ship. He knows how to do it properly. Pixel tries to help by making a device that makes things disappear, but in reality this is just a useless short cut and still leaves the actual work to be done. The kids soon realize their mistake and have to go back and fix things.
Mini-Save: Ziggy gets stuck under a pile of sticky sweets while looking for a chocolate bar in his bedroom. Sportacus has to dive in and save him.
Robbie Mad: Robbie doesn’t see the sense in a machine that gets rid of junk, but he can think of at least one thing that he would love to get rid of.
Robbie Disguise: A little boy in baby clothes whose kite is stuck in a tree.
Rotten Plan: Robbie plans to “borrow the zapper until he doesn’t need it anymore”. He plans to use it to make Sportacus invisible. He climbs into Pixel’s house and steals the Zapper 6000. Later he actually plans to destroy the Zapper after he has made Sportacus invisible.
Rejected Disguises: Robbie contemplates using “Groucho Glasses” (the iconic old funny glasses and fake nose disguise), thinking it is a “clever disguise”. But he decides against it. Then he considers going as a knight.
Robbie's Names for Sportacus: None
Robbie’s Vehicles/Gadgets: None

Big Save: Sportacus has to rescue the Zapper 6000 from being destroyed by Robbie Rotten and then restore all the invisible things back to visibility.
Bing Bang Song: Normal, in the Town Centre
Robbie's Joke / Closing Scene: The Zapper is thrown away by Sportacus, but lands in Robbie’s lair. When it hits the ground it makes Robbie’s underwear disappear.
Moral Lessons / Point of the Production: When there is work to be done, there are no short-cuts!
