Not one to miss out on a money-making opportunity, Malice and the similarly tyrannical and money-hungry Vanessa hatch a plot to exploit people's lack of self-worth and project their own idea of beauty onto the people. Clemence designs a 'prettifier' which, when worn, makes all the citizens look exactly like Vanessa's idea of the perfect image - blond airhead Stacy, and Zakes, self-obsessed hover bike pin-up. But the plan backfires when even the robots internalise this damaging message, and the giant Gorillatron sets out to prove that big can be beautiful, too.
