==Plot==
After a quick musical intro, we cut to Digit, who is practicing her dance moves for the upcoming school dance and hoping to dance with Matt, a kid at school that she has a crush on. Just then her aunt reveals that the time is wrong and it's actually 7:50 p.m. instead of 5:00 p.m. due to her uncle messing with the earth's time, and Digit only has 10 minutes until the dance. She reluctantly goes on the conveyor belt to get dressed up, only to learn that one of her uncle's inventions ruined her shoes, so now she can't go to the dance.
Her uncle then appears and upon hearing Digit's problem, shows her his newest invention: shoes that will let her "make a splash". While she admits they look good, she tells her uncle that she'll never make it to the dance, but her uncle says that she can take Robo, who can transform into anything. He turns into a DJ when Digit says "Dance".
Later after Robo transforms into a vehicle and takes Digit to the dance. Digit asks Robo to stay behind while she goes in by herself, so he waits outside and talks to a trashcan. Inside the gym, Digit encounters Matt and accidentally activates her shoes, causing them to come to life and move on their own as Digit is unable to control her feet. 
Meanwhile Robo, still waiting outside and talking to the trashcan, overhears Digit and goea inside to save her, but is unable to remove the shoes, so Digit has Robo place the shoes in the punch bowl, causing them to short-circuit and freeing Digit. However, all the other students now hate Digit for ruining the dance. Luckily, Robo turns into a DJ and plays some music to save the dance, and Digit gets to dance with Matt. Little does she know that the shoes (still activated) have a built-in periscope and her uncle is watching her from the home. During the end credits, her uncle reveals that while the shoes were created out of evil, they did help her. He starts laughing evilly until his wife appears and elbows him to get him to stop, and we see Digit and Matt dancing.
