Fear of Fish (Ichthyophobia)

A piranha fish is wrongly delivered to Figaro's house. A fearful Figaro causes the fishbowl to shatter, leaving the fish gasping for life. Filled with remorse, Figaro turns on the taps in a desperate attempt to save the fish. In so doing, this fills his house with water. Instead of being grateful, the fish becomes a monster with an unquenchable appetite for revenge. Figaro and Rivet are plunged into a deep-sea adventure, which ends with them cornered in Figaro's toilet.

Fear of Being Alone (Isolophobia)

Figaro enjoys the company of his best friend - his dog Rivet. An accident resets the tin terrier, reverting the robotic dog to a puppy. Rivet's energetic, puppy-like behavior causes one catastrophe too many. Figaro attempts to train his tin terrier but this too ends in disaster. Furious, Figaro kicks Rivet out of the house. Then his fear of being alone kicks in.

Fear of Boredom (Thaasophobia)

Figaro has a rare moment of peace and quiet and with nothing to do and immense boredom kicks in. Initially he tries to solve his boredom by irritating his loyal friend Rivet, picking his nose and studying his earwax. Figaro's behavior becomes more and more absurd, yet fails to put a dent in his boredom. In fact, it only makes him yawn. Mid yawn he notices a portrait of Cousin Eugene, who yawned his head in half, and realises he's in grave danger. Unless excitement comes thick and fast, inevitable doom through boredom lies at the door.
