Unlike other installments in the Brave Little Toaster lineup, it is the only film not to be based on the novella of the same name by Thomas M. Disch.

Rob McGroarty, the owner of the appliances, and the one referred to as "The Master", is in his last days of college while simultaneously working at a veterinary clinic.

The appliances, along with a rat named Ratso, seek to help Rob by finding and reversing the effects of his computer virus.

In an attempt to return Wittgenstein to his full capacity, Radio and Ratso go to the storage building of the college to find the WFC-11-12-55 tube.

The appliances create a makeshift vehicle out of a modem, an office cart, and a car battery and pursue Mack's truck with Rob, Chris, and some guard dogs sent by Wittgenstein following them.

They manage to lure the police to the front of the truck (causing the appliances to crash into the back) and have Mack arrested.
