Episode Description:
The Urpney's are getting ready to compete for an entry in the Gunge Book Of Records. They are attempting records for the longest to stay under water and the longest to stay up in the air along with a few other wacky record attempts. Unfortunately no new records are set from the succession of attempts.
Meanwhile in the Land of Dreams, Rufus and Amberley arrive for work. The Dreammaker has been talking to another Dreammaker on his star communicator who has found old manuscripts detailing the existance of rare plant that can be found at Mirror Lake. The Dreammaker says that the plant has a wonderful scent that he wants to use as a dream ingedient. The Dreammaker sends Rufus and Amberley, joined by Pildit to Mirror Lake to find the plant.
Back at Viltheed, Frizz and Nug are told that they have got the record for eating the most slime burgers in the fastest time. However Zordrak summons them to his throne room immediatly. After they have left another Urpney named Urk manages to eat a couple more burgers giving him the record instead of Frizz and Nug.
In Zodrak's throne room, Zordrak is reading one of his magic books called The Principles of Evil. The book tells him how he can solidify one of his Argorribles. He plans to send it to the Land of Dreams and steal the Dreamstone for him. Urpgor tells Blob that if the Argorrible succeeds, they will all no longer be needed and they will be thrown out.
Over at Mirror Lake, Rufus, Amberley and Pildit are looking for a secret entrance to a cave where they can enter a secret place where the plant they are looking for grows. The Dreammaker had told them to look for a white round stone, which turns out to be the button to open up the secret entrance.
At Viltheed, Urpgor leaves to try and stop the Argorrible from reaching the Land of Dreams. Blob, Frizz and Nug see him leave and Blob decides they will follow him using some of Urpgor's jetpacks. Zordrak has now finished his spell on the Argorrible and he orders it to go to the Land of Dreams to steal the Dreamstone, destroying anything and anyone that comes in it's path. Urpgor is waiting for the Argorrible on the Isle of Catastrophy, hoping to destroy it by shining 200 zillion watts of light into it. He hears something approaching so he flicks the switch, but it turns out to be Blob, Frizz and Nug who fly straights into the beams of light. They are so blinded by the light they fall on top of Urpgor's equipment damaging the lights. The Argorrible then flies by and Urpgor has missed his opportunity to stop it. Urpgor tells Blob that they need to help him repair the equipment in the hopes of stopping the Argorrible upon it's return back to Viltheed.
Meanwhile, Rufus, Amberley and Pildit have found the plants and collected their fragrance. They go back to the Noop valley, where Pildit leaves them and heads back to the Wut forest. Rufus and Amberley arrive at the Dreammakers house just as the Argorrible is ripping it apart having already destroyed the tower. Amberley goes to tell the Wuts, while Rufus desperately searches for the Dreammaker and Albert around the rubble, unaware he and Albert are out walking. Amberley arrives back with Pildit and the Wuts and the Wuts manage to drive the Argorrible away using the light from their globes.
The Argorrible heads back to Viltheed, where the light from Urpgor's equipment this time succeeds and shrinks down the Argorrible to it's original size. The Dreammaker arrives home and says that he took the Dreamstone with him being as nobody was around the guard it. The Dreammaker and Pildit repair the destroyed tower using their magic. At Viltheed Frizz and Nug have captured the Argorrible in a bottle for Urpgor and ask Urpgor how he plans to explain what has happened to Zordrak........
