Due to Gonzo's chilling collection of mildew, the theater experiences a blackout, nearly leading Beauregard to electrocute himself while attempting repairs. With many performers left in the dark, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew steps in to save the day by hooking up a generator powered by Beaker. Beaker runs tirelessly on a giant wheel to produce the necessary energy, but when his stamina wanes, Bunsen encourages him by unleashing a ravenous tiger onto the wheel, ensuring the show can go on.
