Synopsis:
Princess Projectra is invited to attend a party at the home of Janice Warren. Chameleon Boy joins her and falls for Janice. However, he overhears the girl tell Projectra that Cham gives her the creeps. In order to impress her, Cham changes his appearance to match Janice's ideal man and introduces himself as Dane Roberts.

Janice and "Dane" then enjoy the party. She shows him the rest of the house including her vault. The next morning Jan discovers that the vault was robbed. Dane is suspected, but Cham deduces that the robot repairman planted a camera to learn the combination to the vault. However, to save Janice and stop the crook, Cham is forced to reveal his true identity. When he does Janice rewards him with a kiss and begins to appreciate him for who he really is.
