Further details

Dr Mu is stealing the internet! With IT systems going into meltdown all over the world, Rufus is transported in the icy wilderness of a social networking site called Puffin Portal, where he teams up with two fluffy avatars, Buck and Gelina. But when his new Puffin pals are deleted by Dr Muhahahaha, Rufus is trapped in the website.

Luckily, back on the Funlab set, Rufus' co-presenter Barry is online and spots Rufus on the Puffin Portal site. He emails Rufus as an attachment to the doctor's evil HQ, Mu Force One, where Rufus learns that Dr Mu is sucking the internet's vast data stream straight into a giant storage tank. He also learns that the internet could potentially be restored via its backup server, hidden in a secret location called The Cache.

Rufus escapes from Mu Force One and sets off to find The Cache, save the internet and restore his Puffin pals to their website.
