The Best Episodes Directed By Robert Hughes

Hector begins another plan to rule the world, by recruiting the help of a giant stone idol that is alive. The idol isn't exactly what he expected; it's only 15 in idol years! He says that he'll only help Hector if he gets a date with Major Doctor Ghastly. Ghastly refuses, so Hector dresses up as Ghastly and seduces the idol to help him, but the idol's parents come and forbid him from helping Hector or dating Ghastly.
