Synopsis

A smoke detector chirps at 3 a.m. and won't stop. Chasing it into the walls, the boys find a steampunk factory run by tiny union workers, then get flung into a 1940s war-film trench when a strike erupts. The foreman behind it all has been chirping for forty years because it's the only way he knows how to say he's lonely.

The Villain (and his pathetically small motive)

A tiny foreman — he chirps because it's the only way he can say he's lonely.

The Musical Number

A wartime morale song: “9-Volt.”
