About this episode

Two brothers unveil their greatest invention while facing an army of robot gloops invading their town.

Two brothers unveil their greatest invention the same morning an army of robot gloops drops from hot air balloons onto Valleytown. Avery and Quinn have spent six months building the Drill House in a Power-Up garage — part home, part tank, part aircraft, with triceratops-style horns that can bore through solid rock. When gloop bots with reinforced metal plating pour into the valley and conventional weapons prove useless, their headmaster delivers grim news: the only thing powerful enough to stop the invasion is the Power Diamond, buried deep underground. Two brothers, one wild machine, and a very long way down. A funny, action-packed audio story for kids ages 6-11, perfect for car rides and screen-free entertainment.
