While rehearsing for a play, Will, Penny and Dr. Smith encounter a cosmic storm. A couple of strange artifacts in the form of a pair of gauntlets appear in the aftermath, followed shortly by a large hammer. Smith realizes the potential power of the objects and hides them, leaving replicas synthesized by the Robot in their place. Will, the Robot and Doctor Smith are all sent back home. Smith is thrilled to see a treasure chest has been sent along with them, but his joy is short-lived when he opens it—it contains no treasure.
