An errant pass disappears up the tailpipe of the car of a pair of men, stalling. Looking for his ball, Elroy says his dad can fix their car. George pipes their exhaust inside too, and the ball shoots out the back. The men, who were really space pirates waiting for a cargo ship to pass by, begin shooting at George, who runs away.
