Baloo wants a two week vacation, but Becky refuses to grant him one. Baloo comes up with the idea of having Wildcat pretend he's a Dr. Gesundheit the Rocket Scientist. Wildcat then asks Baloo to fly to Mars and guarantees free publicity. Becky goes along with the charade and is given a radio to communicate to while he's 'in space.' Becky spends all day talking to Baloo, asking him to bring back items from space. Baloo starts to improvise, but eventually pretends that he's attacked by Martians and throws the radio into the lake. However, it turns out the military was listening in on their communications and begin preparing for a Martian invasion.
