Tao Dojo becomes a temporary kiddie play center when the neighborhood center has water damage. Ryan, J.B., and Kaitlin must learn quickly how to deal with out-of-control kids, especially young Chad, who doesn't tell the truth. Ziktor/Grimlord, realizing that ""kids are the future"", sends OBOTATRON to turn the children into his slaves. Obotatron releases balloons which hypnotize kids who touch them. Adults who touch the balloons become imprisoned inside. Chad meets Obotatron in the park and is chased by balloons. He tells J.B., but J.B. does not believe him. Meanwhile, balloons in the dojo turn the kids into walking zombies and Ryan and Kaitlin become entrapped in the balloons, which float down the street. Tao takes care of Chad and the zombie kids, while J.B. transforms and fights off Obotatron to rescue Ryan and Kaitlin from the balloons. The Troopers defeat Obotatron, returning the children to normal. Chad, having learned to tell the truth, is accepted as Tao's newest karate student.
