Synopsis:
Ilda is excited when the musical act the Cosmoniks come to New City. Star sends her to the concert as an unwitting spy, since he believes there is a connection between the band and a string of robberies. As the concert begins, Star witnesses a man enter a closed jewelry store. Star follows him, but is unable to stop the robbery.

Star tells Ilda about his suspicions. She is upset that Star suspects her idols. During the next show, Star sees another robbery. Once again, he is unable to stop the thief, who is using the amplified music of the band to spring the locks on the vaults. Ilda however recognizes the thief's voice as belonging to the bodyguard of the Cosmoniks. She apprehends him and clears the names of her favorite band.
