Every day for two thousand days, a family of minor appliances, which include a Sunbeam toaster, a radio, a tensor lamp stand named "Lampy", a blanket named "Blanky" and a vacuum cleaner named "Kirby", hope to see Rob return home. On the two thousand and first day, the appliances are devastated to learn that a real estate broker is selling the house. Not wanting to accept the fact that the Master would abandon them, Toaster decides that the group should head out and find Rob. The appliances build Kirby into a carriage by connecting a power strip, an office chair and a battery to him then set out into the world, following Radio's signal broadcasts.
