Dexter and Dee Dee are unknowingly the focus of a "Wild Kingdom" type animal documentary. During Dexter's bathing ritual, he realizes he's being observed, runs, gets tranquilized, and upon awakening discovers he's been tagged.
A nature documentary team observes "Blackfoot" (Dexter) and "Slim" (Dee Dee) in their "natural habitat". Dexter is trapped in his school by the janitor in revenge for making him work late everyday due to Dexter's habit of leaving the school last everyday. Dexter invents a robot parrot that happily repeats self-congratulatory comments he makes, but when it starts repeating things about his lab and escapes, he sets out to destroy it before it tattles to his parents.
