Gulp! These skates are moving and I'm not even skating, Richie!
Richie shows off some of his items that are self-powered for travel - including a boat that operates using legs to efficiently travel to an island. When crooks have arrived on the island to stash their loot, Richie and Gloria are tied to trees, and one of the trees walks so that Richie could free Gloria, escape and call the police. The island is apparently motorized and travels to town where the police arrest the bad guys. When the island is back to its proper place, Gloria observes a long pier, which is motorized and saves Gloria the walking.
