Plot synopsis
Prologue
Sportacus is admiring the beautiful day and looking through his telescope when he is challenged by the airship computer to run over all five walls in the center of LazyTown within 15 seconds. He completes the challenge in a new record, 14 seconds while still adding a few other stunts (He throws his disc to cut an apple off the tree, and bats the apple over the walls, then chases and catches it). The record time registers on his wrist computer and then he says "Sports candy works every time" before biting into his apple.
Main episode
The kids are trying to clean up the play ground area because Stingy won't play there unless the Sports field is squeaky clean. Ziggy has been roped in to push Stingy up and down on the SeeSaw. Stephanie shows up and asks them why they are cleaning the sports field. Trixie answers that Stingy doesn't want to get his clothes dirty. Robbie down in his lair (eating an ice cream cone) overhears the kids talking and cleaning and then says "I'll give them something to clean." He fires his trash out of his cannon and up to the surface.
Mini Save
Sportacus has to save Ziggy from Robbie's trash Can when it lands on the SeeSaw and flips Ziggy into the trash can causing him to roll through the town. Sportacus does this by shooting a cable out of his wrist band and pulling a ball to himself that he uses to line up the deck chair into the path of the trash can. He also drops the end of the deck chair using a racket and ball so that the trash can rolls up the tree and he can catch it with his hands. Robbie is very upset over this save. Pixel states that Sportacus is almost as fast and as strong as a robot.
Robbie's Rotten Plan
When Robbie hears what Pixel says he comes up with the idea of using a Robot to defeat Sportacus
