Plot
Charlotte promises a father named Bill who promises his son, Keith, to guard a box from evil space robots. The box is full of a big secret, and the robots plan to foil the secret. Keith calls his friends Juan and Oscar for teamwork to defend the box. The robots didn't seem to be coming yet, so they went out and chilled for a while. Suddenly, a UFO appeared and Keith's bodyguard robot, Security Guard Unit 20, told Keith, Juan and Oscar to come outside. The UFO started sending out robots. They started a battle. Keith's dad finds the boys and tells them to guard the box while him and Security Guard Unit 20 fend off the robots. Keith, Juan and Oscar hid the box in Keith's room. A ventriloquist dummy known as Commander R, who is the leader and creator of the robots, appeared out of nowhere and demanded for the box. They then laughed at him saying "a ventriloquist dummy in charge". This of course ticked R off and sent a few robots to execute them. While they were fighting the robots, R stole the box and ran off. Keith then realizes that R stole the box and went back into the UFO. Security Guard Unit 20 chases R to try get the box back, but was too late. Keith, Juan and Oscar then entered the ufo and fought more robots until they reached the control center. They found R and battled him until they finally got the box. The ufo was destroyed and the robots were gone. But R survives. R explained that he needed that box so that he can break his curse and turn back into his regular form. Then he was arrested for his crimes. Later on that night, Keith opened the box and inside the box was a golden horseshoe and can give away any wish. Oscar wished for a train he can drive in, Juan wished for his own tablet, and Keith wished that Charlotte had seen the whole thing.
