Under the guise of a local telephone company, M.A.D. inventor Dr. Spectrum and his goons systemically target the mansions of Metro City's elite neighborhoods and proceed to burglarize them with the dial of a number and with a zap of a teleportation gun to send the loot straight into Claw's hands.

When a space station orbiting Earth goes silent, Gadget must investigate. Penny and Brain tag along aboard the space shuttle that takes Gadget to his destination, where Penny discovers that the station's soft-spoken HAL-like supercomputer is under the control of two M.A.D. agents, Dr. Null and Dr. Void. Their evil plot involves a giant magnifying glass that can aim and intensify the sun's rays towards Earth.
