Synopsis:
Star Hawkins and Ilda visit the lab of Dr. Carter, where valuable scientific equipment has recently been tampered with. When Star arrives Carter explains that he has already solved the case. His robot assistant Zutar was responsible.

Star takes a look around the lab, while Ilda examines the deactivated robot. Ilda discovers that the robot's body contains the mind of Dr. Carter. The scientist had perfected a mind-transference machine, and the criminal robot switched bodies with him. When Ilda goes to warn Star, she discovers that Zutar has switched bodies with him. Despite having Dr. Carter's body, Star is still able to defeat Zutar who is in possession of his body. Once Zutar is defeated, Star and Dr. Carter are returned to their own bodies, and Zutar is sent to be melted down.
