Josh Jones and the House of Fails Smell-a-Screen

Josh loves to visit Auntie Deb. Her house is a bit like a museum of failed inventions. He discovers a machine called Smell-a-Screen. He asks to borrow it. At home with the family, he presses some buttons and pulls the handle...the crazy tricks begin.
