Simka, Toola and Fire clean and lubricate the telescope in Tom Thomas’ apartment to make sure it is working properly as Buggy spins a web nearby. The Fixie kids are waiting for Nolik who is late. With their work on the telescope done, Simka leaves a note for Nolik on her fixietab, and the kids fly off to work on other devices. Nolik arrives to find everyone missing. When he looks into the telescope he sees a terrible monster with a huge mouth and sharp teeth. Nolik finds Simka's fixietab on the floor next to the telescope and concludes that the monster must have eaten his sister. Toola arrives and Nolik tells her about the monster, now Toola is afraid as well. The panic builds with the arrival of Simka. Now they are all afraid the monster has gotten Fire. With each telling Nolik’s monster seems to grow bigger and bigger. Nolik, Simka, and Toola find Fire tangled up in some wires inside the computer. The older Fixie kids decide must go and catch the monster, and the best way to lure him is to use Nolik as the bait, since the monster has already spotted him. But when the “monster” appears, the Fixie kids discover it isn’t a monster at all, it’s just Buggy. But how is that possible? The monster Nolik saw was huge with sharp pointy teeth! Simka asks Buggy to go back out in front of the telescope where he was earlier and and for Nolik to look through the viewfinder. Nolik sees the “monster” but now understands that it was just his spider friend distorted by the optics of the telescope.
