One day, when Cherridile drives to her bakery, she meets a customer named Dr. Mark Numchuck, a scientist. He lures Cherridile into his lab, where she, ignorant of her surroundings, looks at things that catch her attention, unintentionally outwitting him. When Cherridile discovers Numchuck's true intentions, she decides to pose as a sultry human woman and flirts with him; she beats him up when Numchuck falls for her trap.
Numchuck, enraged, decides to try to lure Cherridile into a trap by making a mannequin of Chocodile; this fails once Cherridile "accidentally" knocks the mannequin back into Numchuck's face.
