After his new time machine successfully sends Robert back to 1875, Professor Matic contacts a patent expert on Saturn and then gives instructions that no-one touch the device. However, Steve, Venus and Commander Zero decide to have a look at the time machine for themselves; unfortunately Zoonie activates the device, sending the trio back in time to the Wild West. Here Steve is elected Sheriff, while Venus becomes a bank robber named Frenchi Lil, with Zero as her accomplice!
