In a harrowing office accident involving a bagel, happy-go-lucky Peter Potamus consumes radioactive pellets which transform him into THE CREATURE! Or rather, he turns green and his waist-size triples in seconds, which, let's face it, would send anyone over the edge. On the brighter side, his new flowing mane leaves him bearing a striking resemblance to Frank Stallone! Now, even the slightest stress, such as rending an impossible-to-open mustard pak (sic), can cause the Creature to appear and terrorize the office! Will any escape the bestial hipposity? Meanwhile, Reducto freaks out, strips naked and despoils his house with a mixture of duck feces and potting soil. In other words, business as usual.
