Synopsis:
Star Hawkins apprehends Astro Allie, but he fails to recover the crook's stolen loot. Star returns to the office, where he finds Ilda has taken an acting job to pay the bills. However, the talent agents who recruited Ilda are really crooks out to find Astro Allie's loot. They use a truth battery to force Ilda to recite Allie's confession. The confession gives the crooks the clue they need to find the hidden loot.

When Ilda begins telling the crooks the information, an alert goes off in Star's office. He listens in to the conversation Ilda has with the crooks. He deciphers the clue and is on hand when the crooks attempt to retrieve Allie's loot. With Ilda's help, Star recovers the loot and apprehends the crooks.
