Will a small robot help accomplish the King's big plans?

Synopsis

To an impressed onlooker, the King reveals Tinytin, a diminutive robot that can fit in the palms of his hands. Tinytin is perfect for espionage, says the King, as his size will make him a saboteur too small for the enemy to catch sight of.

Tinytin is immediately crushed flat by a newcomer Zipponian with vision problems.
