Summary[]
Hercules and Iolaus are given news that Echidna and Typhon have just had a baby monster, Obie.
Meanwhile, Klepto has been thrown "out of order" by Bluth, one of Hera's men, until he can prove he is worth something. Klepto decides to pick pockets since he feels that is what he does best. He steals the proclamation of Obie's birth from Iolaus.
When Klepto arrives at the den of Echidna and Typhon and manages to charm them into believing he is trustworthy and secure. After Echidna goes to take a nap and Typhon goes for a walk, he kidnaps Obie.
Echidna is enraged and Hercules and Typhon go to find him while Iolaus stays to comfort her.
Bluth, meanwhile, has taken Obie and is examining him to determine if he'll be a good vicious monster, but is stopped as Klepto arrives with Hercules and Typhon.
A fight ensues in which Klepto, Typhon, and Hercules get the baby back and head to the den.
Klepto accompanies them to apologize to Echidna personally.
When Typhon and Hercules confirm Klepto's sincerity, she agrees and welcomes him. Iolaus asks what is going on and Hercules replies, "Every parents dream: finding a baby-sitter."
