Main episode
Stephanie greets her uncle when she sees Ziggy riding past on his bike, prompting her to ask him where his training wheels are when he proudly says that he took them off; after announcing that he can go really fast he says that he hasn't learned how to use his brakes yet. Ziggy ends up barreling towards the ice cream stand when Sportacus, using a grappling hook, pulls it out of the way; he then uses a yo-yo to make Ziggy stop just before he crashes into the Mayor's nicely pruned bush.

Robbie Rotten, who was watching, wishes that Sportacus were younger so that he wouldn't be able to ruin his plans anymore. He pouts at the fact that doing something like that is impossible but then starts going through a box of seemingly random things before pulling out what looks like the top of an umbrella and starts building something. When finished he gloats over his invention: the Littlizer 3000, designed to de-age anything. He decides to try it out on his cockatoo and ends up turning it into an egg; after tuning it a bit, he heads topside to find Sportacus and use it on him.
Robbie finds Sportacus, who is exercising with a jump rope, and proceeds to hide in a nearby bush so he can secretly use his invention. After moving back and forth several times, Robbie finally activates it and shrinks Sportacus down, physically, to the age of about ten. Little Sportacus, who is mentally perfectly fine, is surprised at the fact that he's little again. He sees Ziggy and asks for his help, Ziggy asks who he is and when Sportacus tells him who he is Ziggy just laughs, but says that if he really were Sportacus, he would know his ultra, top secret nickname that only Sportacus knows.

While hanging out at the park, Stephanie finds him and asks who he is; after almost saying that his name is Sportacus he quickly calls himself ... Spob. Stephanie is a bit skeptical about his name but asks if he wants to play, and he shyly admits that he's a bit out of practice but they start playing, after Stephanie almost knocks him over by throwing the ball a bit too hard. While playing and singing the song "Time to Play" Stephanie notices that "Spob" is doing some moves that are very familiar and as the two of them play, Robbie sneaks up, steals Sportacus’ old clothes that were sitting on a bench, and runs off.
