Synopsis

An old, broken-down car sits on a mountain. Out of the trunk of this car comes a robot dog with glasses whose body was made, among other things, of cubes. The dog wakes up his partner, another robot dog, who has a high-heeled shoe and a pair of scissors for a head. After touching a mountain of rubbish, a giant robot wakes up, chases the dogs and grabs the female dog with one hand to eat her. The robot dog throws his spanner at the giant robot's head. The wrench causes the robot to fall to the ground. Thus, the female robot falls into the suitcase of the car.
