Kat is reluctant to visit her Uncle Vic Frankenstein because the people in the small town where he lives say he's a mad scientist like his great-grandfather, Victor Frankenstein, but Kat is relieved to find that even though he lives in a dark, old castle-like mansion, he is a quiet, gentle man, a scientist interested in building robots with artificial intelligence. Kat also loves Poochie, his small, adorable, fluffy white dog, who is funny and playful. But after an accident occurs in her uncle's lab, strange things begin to happen.
