In the company of the ghostly pirate Ivanka, the elusive Doctor Marbles is back, and this time he's discovered a powerful cybermineral he can use to help Motherboard. Located deep inside a volcano on the cybersite Corsario, this "Magmalux" is strong enough to override the virus Hacker inflicted on the beloved Cyberspace ruler. Unfortunately, Hacker is on to Marbles and traps him on Skull Island so he can retrieve the Magmalux for his own evil purpose. Enter the CyberSquad: Digit tracks Hacker while the kids solve another problem: how to rescue Marbles! Hacker has destroyed the bridge to Skull Island, and the water surrounding it is infested with electric eels. Can they build a new bridge — with just an old sign to work with — and get to the volcano in time to stop Hacker? |

Harley convinces Harry to help him put up a fence for their grandmother, but runs off as soon as Harry arrives — leaving Harry to do most of the work. With no instructions other than to put up the fence and make it a rectangle, Harry must figure out how to do so with different lengths of fence. He breaks the problem down, adds up different combinations of fence lengths, and draws a diagram to figure out which pieces go where. He succeeds in putting up a rectangular fence on his own, but then discovers Harley neglected to mention that his grandmother wanted a gate in the fence, too!
