SYNOPSIS 

When Uncle Martin prepares to test fly his space ship, a little boy 
comes upon it during an unguarded moment and takes it for a joyride 
orbit of the Earth. Uncle Martin manages to get the ship back. An 
amusing news story in the morning paper makes light of the tale told 
by a 1ittle runaway. What worries Uncle Martin more is that the boy 
ran off with his essential Electro-magnetic neutron converting 
gravitator. Without this small, box-shaped device, survival in space 
is impossible. A gentle pressure on the gravitator button and the user 
floats in a state of weightlessness. Uncle Martin must get his 
gravitator back. 
 
Martin finds out that the boy is being cared for by a 
spinster aunt, Lily. Posing as a baby-sitter, Martin gets to sit with 
the boy. Subtly, Uncle Martin starts the boy on a search for the box 
but they are interrupted by a news reporter following up Peter's wild 
saucer story. To prevent the boy from verifying the story, Uncle 
Martin subliminally removes all memory of the flight from the boy's 
mind. After the news reporter leaves, Martin is unable to locate the 
gravitator before the boy's aunt returns. Worse, the reporter has 
discovered the connection between Uncle Martin and Tim, whom the 
reporter knows is working for a rival paper. 
 
Uncle Martin is forced to resort to invisibility to search 
for his gravitator. He finds it only to have it fall in to the boy's 
hands. The reporter returns to try to convince the aunt to allow him 
to question Peter, who, at this moment has accidentally pressed the 
gravitator button and is flying around the room. An instant before the 
reporter comes into the room to question Peter, Uncle Martin gets his 
gravitator back and makes Peter forget everything.
