Story

Franny is a young mad scientist who has trouble understanding Valentine’s Day and the social rules around making cards for school. Her mother gives her a new lab assistant, Igor, a dog who is meant to help but keeps causing trouble in Franny’s experiments.

When a Valentine-related science mishap brings a Cupid to life and makes it huge, Franny is forced to deal with a town-wide disaster she didn’t intend to create. The situation escalates into a comic chase as Franny tries to stop the rampaging Cupid while also dealing with her frustrating assistant.

As the chaos grows, Franny has to rely on the very helper she doesn’t want in order to set things right. The story resolves with Franny navigating both the Valentine mess and her feelings about Igor, turning the disaster into a lesson about friendship, acceptance, and teamwork.
