Jetta is determined to win the drum majorette try-outs at Neutron High, but her confidence wavers when a new girl, Hilaria Hale, enters the competition—and Arky seems unusually interested in her.

Jetta and her friend Arky rush to the junior prom in their jetmobile, but a mishap sends them crashing just as they're about to leave.

As the chaos unfolds with ray guns, visi-screens, and a dramatic rescue by space police, Jetta realizes her "cosmic hero" was never the one in danger, but the one who needed saving all along.
