5An evil wizard named Dazzledale and his [[CatsAreMean pet cat Dweezil]] have stolen all of the Putty people and plans to turn them into bubblegum. Putty has been banished to the planet Zid, where he befriends a colony of robots who plan to build a skyscraper high enough to get Putty back home. However, Dazzledale's minions have also taken over this planet and freeze the robots in an attempt to foil their plan. Now, Putty must defeat Dazzledale and save all the robots so work on the skyscraper can continue.
