Professor Cosmo

Cosmo is nearly late for an inventors competition, but he gets to the exhibition hall just in time to demonstrate his invention, a mental wavelength modifier. Down in the lobby, Ace is busy signing autographs when he notices another contestant named Van Scott in trouble with Spade and Diamond. Ace tries to help, only for Diamond to use Van Scott's invention, a robot, to attack Ace and cause trouble in the contest. Cosmo uses his wavelength modifier to stop the robot and ends up winning the first prize. At this point Cosmo decides it's time to break away from Ace and look towards his own future. Black Jack does not have the robot but has the remote control, so he uses it to get the robot away from the police. Back at the Magic Express, Ace practices his newest trick while Cosmo considers a load of offers. When both find out the robot is on the loose again, Cosmo goes to work, and Ace goes to Angel. Black Jack uses the robot to steal some weapons, but Cosmo stops the robot again. The short is only temporary, though, as Black Jack regains control, captures Cosmo, and destroys the modifier. Jack is about to finish Cosmo when the robot shorts out again, and Ace comes to the rescue in his heavy artillery gear. Unfortunately for Ace, Jack uses Cosmo as a hostage, and in the ensuing chase, Ace gets thrown from a car and lands in a day-care center. He then finds Van Scott, saves him from Spade and Diamond, and learns more about the robot. The robot takes Cosmo to a luxury hotel, where it looks like game over for the budding star.
