The Edison's are at it again.
The trouble began when Purple Tentacle drank that pesky toxic waste. Once evil but harmlessly slow-witted, he became an evil super-genius, bent on WORLD DOMINATION! His creator, fidgety mad scientist Doctor Fred Edison, realized the threat to all humanity and captured Purple Tentacle, along with good-natured brother Green Tentacle, and plans to have them put to sleep.
Bernard, the computer geek with a heart of gold, must free his old friend Green Tentacle! But at what cost? This time, he may be in over his head. His roomates Hoagie, a heavy metal roadie, and Laverne, a slightly twitchy medical student, are along to help, unaware of what lays in store. Time travel, tax evasion, talking horses, beauty pageants, skunk-tossing, and even a little clown-fu -- an adventure spanning four-hundred years -- all crammed into one fateful night. They were relaxing at home when the hamster knocked on the door...
Stopping this menace is up to you! You direct the actions of all three kids, cavorting through time in a frantic quest to return to yesterday and stop this Tyrannical Tentacle before he can even get started on his promise to make the world bow down to...
The Day of the Tentacle!
