Plot

A Universal Dynamics cargo ship loses six ROZZUM all-purpose robots during a typhoon, which wash up on an island uninhabited by humans; only one survives the crash and is accidentally activated by the local wildlife. ROZZUM Unit 7134, nicknamed "Roz," attempts to advertise her services to the animals but only succeeds in terrifying them and injuring herself. Even after spending several days translating the animals' language, she still cannot find anyone who requires her help. She decides to signal her manufacturers to retrieve her but accidentally crushes a goose nest, leaving only a single egg. After Roz defends the egg from a hungry fox, it hatches, and the gosling imprints itself onto her and breaks her long-range transponder. Pinktail, a mother opossum, instructs Roz to raise the gosling with three primary requirements – feeding it, teaching it to swim, and ensuring it can fly before the winter migration. Roz recruits the fox, Fink, to help find food and construct a shelter; as the three begin cohabitating, Roz names the gosling Brightbill.
