Siblings Milli and Geo and their green robot friend Bot are always helping those in need in Umi City. They often have to use maths to help solve the quest they’re on and they look to the audience for answers. Preschoolers are tested on their basic counting and measuring skills, and recognition of shapes and patterns. In this special episode, the trio visit the King of Numbers but the anti-maths wizard Zilch has locked the king in his tower and they need all their maths skills to save him.
