Determined to retrieve it, Kelly and the gang build a makeshift spaceship to chase down the culprit, but their pursuit becomes a wild chase through town that leads to a surprising discovery about who—or what—the "Man from Mars" really is.

When Cupid's invisible love arrows strike Benjamin Bang, the boy genius finds himself hopelessly smitten with Dolly Dean—showering her with makeshift rings, flowers, and devoted attention.

This lighthearted tangle between a kid inventor and the god of love proves that even the Brain's logic can't compete with Cupid's magic.
