Ricky Ricotta is a very nice mouse, but every day, the neighborhood bullies in Squeakyville pick on him. Sometimes he feels so alone! He doesn't have brothers or sisters, and he wishes he had a pet or a special friend — especially on his way to school, when the bullies throw his backpack into the garbage.
But a very special friend is about to enter little Ricky's life: a giant flying Robot! In his first adventure, mouse hero Ricky Ricotta saves the giant robot from its dastardly inventor, DOCTOR STINKY! The giant robot duly protects Ricky from school bullies and then saves the entire city from Dr. Stinky's diabolical plot to utterly destroy it!
