the brave little toaster to the rescue computer

Ratso then blames Radio, which causes Radio himself to give up his own tube which turns out to be the very rare tube they had been looking for, thus leaving himself as a lifeless appliance. Wittgenstein does his best with all his might, but he blows his remaining tube with a big explosion and apparently 'is a goner'. When they come back with the last apparent tube for miles, however, Radio and Ratso (after an argument with the tube) accidentally break it, and it seems that all hope is lost. In an attempt to revive Wittgenstein to his superior state, Radio and Ratso go to the college's storage building to find the hard-to-find WFC 11-12-55 tube. The appliances learn that unless they find a replacement quickly, Wittgenstein's tube will blow and lead to his apparent death. The miserable supercomputer reveals that he is living on one rare tube, named the 'WFC 11-12-55'. When the appliances find Wittgenstein, they discover him abandoned, all alone and run-down and broken in the basement due to be infected by a computer virus. Meanwhile, in a dual plot of the film, Mack, Rob's lab assistant, plots to sell the injured animals Rob had been tending, to a place called 'Tartaras Laboratories', the same place that Sebastian, an old monkey Rob is tending to, was sent to when he was just a baby. The appliances, along with the rat Ratso who found Wittgenstein, then seek to help Rob by finding Wittgenstein to reverse the effects of his computer virus, hence recovering the master's thesis.

One night, while working on a thesis, his computer accidentally crashes caused by a terrible computer virus from an old TLW-728 supercomputer named Wittgenstein. Rob McGoarthy, the owner of the appliances and whom they refer to as 'the master', is working in a veterinary clinic where he tends to injured animals.
