A 3D animated steam-punk set in a futuristic 1892.

A young girl builds a steam powered robot but has trouble getting it started.  After turning up her power source too high the machine explodes, spraying cranks, pistons and sprockets around the room.

There is a surprising and touching ending as we discover that the robot is alive and has saved our heroine from a falling girder.
