In far-off 1995, young Earthboy Tommy Keen has won the right to represent Earth in the Interplanetary Quiz Kid Competition. The contest involves a race to the "Black Planet," picking up objects along the way, and avoiding interstellar obstacles. Tricky enough to do on its own, but when Tommy finds thieves trying to steal the planet Venus, things get even more complicated.
