The Great Brain Robbery

The Great Brain Robbery is the first segment of the 10th episode in season 1 of Harvey Street Kids. The title of this episode is a reference to the 1903 western film, The Great Train Robbery.

Synopsis
Melvin undergoes a personality change after experiencing a brain freeze and tries to make up for his formerly bratty behavior.

Plot
The episode begins with Audrey jumping from a public pool which is filled with ice cream, with several scoops stacked on top, and receives an applause for eating everything. Back to the present, she explains that this is how she devoured the dangerous ice cream cone stack. Audrey asks the ice cream vendor for three of them for the Harvey Girls, which is so frozen that the vendor's own arm freezes. Melvin takes advantage of the situation, ambushing the girls using gas-based smoke bombs, and eats the cones at the same time by himself, which his accomplices praise for that.

Audrey was about to hit him, but Melvin freezes for eating these ice creams and Audrey wonders why he doesn't defend himself. In Melvin's mind, he finds himself in a frozen wasteland with an ice cream ball version of the Harvey girls similar to Scrooge's ghosts. The girls show him the things Melvin has done, like bothering Audrey in a nursery room and bothering the girls in the present by doodling their Horn-A-Corns. Melvin, however, worries about a vision of the future in which he fears losing his butt to fart and the only ones compatible for the transplant are the girls, who refuse to do so.

Back to reality, Melvin lies changed and says he will retire from the joke business while changing his outfit to a more formal one. The girls not yet convinced at all considering Melvin's past history, give him a chance while the boys believe that everything is just a hoax. Melvin, however, does the girls favors like preparing cookies and organizing their HQ, to which the girls still do not excuse him. Melvin therefore decides to give them the treehouse, while Fredo and Pinkeye continue to think he is pretending and do not react to that change.

The girls take possession of the treehouse and decorate it with their tastes, Melvin for his part prepares breakfast and the girls react exalted about it. He, still wanting to be helpful, brushes their teeth, spoils them the end of a book and takes away the rabbit plushes when the girls were going to jump on them. The girls, finding it irritating and looking for an excuse to get rid of him, tell him that he can finish doing favors, but Melvin despite the warning wants to continue helping them. With the excuse of looking for a book to return to the library, they want to save time by going to Fredo and Pinkeye, where they still believe that Melvin is pretending. They explain that the only way to get Melvin back is to remind him of his disgusting side. The girls tempt him with the boys' gas balloons and telling him they will do girly things. Melvin does not resist this, and he transforms back to his old self as a werewolf. Immediately he starts throwing balloons at the girls, transforming the tree as it was before. Fredo and Pinkeye meanwhile, are glad to have their old Melvin back, while the girls regret it.
