Plot[]
The episodes open up with an octopus-looking alien gets lost and accidentally flies his spaceship through an asteroid field. He starts to panic as asteroids start hitting his ship. The alien gets on his radio and starts making a call for help when the Dog Star's ship appears. He waves them over, and the Dogstars immediately get to work to clear the asteroids out of the way. When Bull Dog, asks the alien how he managed to get himself stuck, the alien answers, "I took right turn when I should have taken a left," and then reveals that it is his first day on the job.
Meanwhile, the Dog Stars, and Krypto, get to work on clearing away the asteroids. But as they are wrapping up, trouble strikes when Tusky Husky, drills through the last asteroid. Without warning, his tusk suddenly gets stuck in the asteroid and breaks off, catching everybody (including Tusky, himself).
When they return to the ship, Tusky Husky, reveals that it was only a baby tooth and that where he comes from, it takes a long time for teeth to grow in. Brainy tells him that he won't be able to go out on any missions until his new tooth grows back in. The Dogstars then start to through out suggestions about what Tusky Husky should do with his old tooth when Krypto the remembers that whenever Kevin lost a tooth, he would leave under his pillow for the tooth fairy, and she would take it and leave him some money. Tusky and some of the other Dog Stars, find this to be an interesting idea, and Tusky, decides to put his old tusky under his pillow to see if the tooth fairy will come and take it.
What the Dog Stars, don't realize is that Snooky Wookums had sent in a probe to go spy on them, and it had recorded everything. When he takes the prob back to Mechanikat, who is caught up in some "very important business", and he shows him what the probe recorded. A hologram plays, showing Krypto explaining the tooth fairy, and then shows Tusky Husky, extracting his tooth from the asteroid. Mechanikat is delighted at learning that Tusky Husky has lost his tooth and briefly explains that his tooth is virtually indestructable. He then starts to form a plan to steal the tooth. Snooky points out that the tooth is on the Dog Star's ship, but Mechanikat hints that Tusky Husky is expecting the tooth fairy.
Mechanikat, who has Tusky fooled, leaves him money, but Tusky, wants a new tooth instead which the fairy promises falsely. Mechanikat's plans go through perfectly, but he has other things in store as he intends on using the tooth against the Dog Stars as a missile. Mekanikat's plan goes through with flying colors as the Dog Stars just can't destroy the mighty molar, but luckily Tusky's new tooth comes through and he saves the day destroying the tooth and saving the day. Back on the ship, Tusky Husky, says he can't help think that when Mechanikat hit his mouth with his wand, it helped is new tooth grow when it did. Then, the Dog Stars get the last laugh when they post Meckanikat, in the Tooth Fairy costume all over the galaxy as one last payback. Mechanikat, humiliated, goes to his room while Snooky chuckles to himself.
