Will is attempting to send out an SOS using balloon-assisted rockets. Moments after the Robot launches the latest rocket, something goes terribly wrong and the rocket ignites the hydrogen filled balloon and plummets to the ground in a fireball. At the last moment Will and his sister Penny are pulled out of the way by their father. Later on, Don finds some fuel is missing and blames Smith, but it turns out that Will has used far more than he thought in his experiments.
