Lil Rob & The Beanstalk is the second half of the 17th episode of the second season of Wild Grinders, and the second half of the 43rd episode overall.
Overview[]
Jack Knife trades his only skateboard to Preston for some magic jelly beans. He plants them in Lil Rob's garden and Lil Rob wakes the next morning to find a giant beanstalk growing into the sky. Lil Rob and the Grinders are thrilled to find an awesome - and oddly oversized - skate park in the clouds and immediately start riding. But the castle and the skate park belong a mean giant who just happens to look exactly like Stubford.
Synopsis[]
The Grinders are tediously waiting for Jack Knife to bring the new wheels. With Meaty concerned, Jack Knife always fails to bring the wheels in many chances, such as he traded his skateboard for Stubford Hucksterball (Jack Knife believes that Stubford is his pet unicorn). In his fourth and final chance, Jack Knife traded the wheels to Preston with a few colorful jellybeans. The Grinders are anxious and solemn, after they've learned that Preston traded the wheels to Stubford, and finally dumped them into a volcano. Jack Knife plants the beans to the ground, before they automatically form into a colossal beanstalk. The Grinders climb to the beanstalk, which leads them to a giant-sized castle.
The castle includes a skating park, and the Grinders have fun with a enormous skateboard. A hefty stomp interrupted the Grinders and send them flying. The board belongs to the giant. He then smells the Grinders' scent, before sending Lil Rob and Meaty flying separately.
Jack Knife, Goggles, Emo Crys, Jay Jay, and Spitball are held captive by the giant, who is now vaguely identical to Stubford, and were locked in a prison cell, which they've encountered a goose that lays a Golden Skateboard. The Stubford-like giant grabs Jack Knife and attempts to crush him with his signature skateboard. Before he starts to kill Jack Knife, Lil Rob and Meaty disguise themselves as a giant figure of Lil Rob, known as "Big Lil Rob". The goose pushes Rob's giant disguise, before the duo are being chased by the giant. They've stalled the giant successfully, but the giant's stomp sends all of the Grinders flying back.
The Grinders manage to evade the giant and attempt to chop down the beanstalk, though Jack Knife trimmed down the wrong tree. The giant captured the Grinders, yet Stubford interrupted the giant. Though they have encounter themselves, Stubford and his identical giant quickly befriend. Gene does not believe what the Grinders are doing, while Lil Rob proves that it is all true. The goose shoots a Golden Egg to the ground.
