Synopsis
On a rainy night at the Magic Express, Ace and Cosmo are ready for dinner with Mona when they get an unexpected surprise on their doorstep: a baby! Cosmo tries to care for the baby while Ace looks for the person who left the baby in the rain. Mona shows up to help with the babysitting, as she knows how to take care of babies. During the night, though, Mona is shocked to find the baby has quickly grown into a toddler. Angel analyzes the child, who grows older with each passing hour. Junior then takes the Magic Racer and drives like a maniac, causing all kinds of trouble. Ace and Mona catch up with the Racer via the Magic Bike, but Junior (which Ace has named the child) has used the ejector seat and ends up at the top of a high-rise building. Ace and Mona nearly lose Junior when a gentleman picks him up in a turbocopter. The man, Aldus Teron, is up to no good, so Ace rescues Junior when jumps away from Teron and gets into a very high dive with Ace. Back at Ingen Laboratories, Teron learns his nurse Nastasia kidnapped the prototype baby and left it with Ace, who himself remembers Nastasia as the nurse who cared for him after his accident. He and Cosmo try to get to her home, but Teron gets there first. Ace comes to the rescue of his old friend, yet he and Cosmo get sidetracked and lose her. Teron then goes to the Magic Express and gets Junior back. Why is the child so important to Teron? This is Teron's plan: Transfer his brain into Junior's body to live longer!
