It's summer in the Uglyverse, and Wage and Babo's air conditioner has broken down, so they head to Ox and Wedgehead's Air Conditioner Emporium, where the only cooling mechanism they can afford is an old fashioned ice-box. They bring it home, and soon realize they are in for more of a stew than they bargained for when they find little Ice-Bat living inside! Since everything he touches turns to ice, the apartment cools off in no time. But when word gets out, greedy Ox and Wedgehead can't believe they sold Ice-Bat for only five dollars. They decide they want him back.
