It's observation.

Secure the grounds. Make sure no one enters or leaves.

Take good care of these, Sylvester Grogan, whoever you are.

I'll be looking you up at the Le Baron.

The crystals!

Move aside.

The collimating crystals are gone.

No. Call the I.A.D.C., then call the police.

Right.

Mr. Mac Freeman, please come to the desk.

Mr. Mac Freeman, please come to the main desk.

Mr. Genteel, please pick up the house phone.

That's right, sir.

Fire regulations prohibit 10 people

from sleeping in a single room.

May I...

I'm sorry. May I help you?

Yes. My name is Diana Prince and I believe I have a reservation.

- Prince? - Yes.

You're not here for the convention, are you?

- That's what this is, a convention? - Yes. The science fiction convention.

It's being held at Paragon Studios down the street.

And we have the misfortune of being the closest hotel.

Why is it being held at a studio?

Paragon Studios is bringing back its old Space Quest series.

The convention is part of their promotion.

If you'll please be patient with me, Ms. Prince,

I'm sure your reservation is here somewhere.

I'm beginning to hope it isn't.

You were running a six-minute mile, Mr. Kimball.

But then again, it never hurts for a thief to be fleet of foot.

Wouldn't want to shortchange a client.

Speaking of clients,

I was expecting a delivery last night. Where were you?

Had nothing to deliver.

I know the crystals were stolen from the observatory last night.

- Where are they? - They're safe and sound.

No thanks to you.

The alarm system layout you provided for me

wasn't exactly up to date.

Once again, Mr. Kimball, what did you do with the crystals?

I think they're on their way out of the complex by now.

You left them there?

I didn't think it would look too good if they were found on me.

You don't seem to understand, Mr. Kimball.

There are big people involved and I hired you to get me the crystals.

Look, you'll get the crystals.

- When? - When I catch up with them.

You hired the best, Mr. Rohan. You'll get the crystals.

Indeed I shall, Mr. Kimball.

Because of you, or in spite of you.

If you'll excuse me, I've got a few more miles to run.

I said collimating crystals, Diana.

They were developed for lasers used in space navigation.

They were on loan to the observatory. Up until last night, that is.

So you got me on a 6:00 am. flight

just because something that tells how far away the moon is was stolen?

Collimating crystals concentrate laser beams,

meaning that in the wrong hands, Diana,

small tactical laser weapons are not only possible, but very practical.

And you want me to find out whose hands they've fallen into.

Right.

You got the file of suspects I sent to the airport, didn't you?

Yes. I studied it on the plane.

Most of the second-story men you've singled out

I've had some dealings with before.

No, it's all right.

Thank you.

Diana?

- That's another thing, Steve. - Let me help.

You booked me into a hotel filled with science-fiction conventioneers.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. The Torrance people suggested that hotel.

Have you been to the observatory yet?

First things first. Sylvester?

- Diana Prince. - Sylvester Grogan.

What a pleasant surprise.

- Dr. Grogan's son is there? - Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I'm in charge of the C-6 Club moon-rock exhibit.

- The science fiction convention? - Yeah.

Dad arranged it so we could borrow the Torrance moon-rock collection.

You here for the convention, too?

No. I'm on an assignment.

He's gone into the hotel.

Perhaps, he's trying to find a higher bidder.

It's going to be a pleasure eliminating that arrogant fool

once this is over.

Follow him.

Sooner or later he'll lead us to the crystals.

All right.

I'll call you when I get back from the observatory.

- All right. Goodbye. - Bye.

All those guys in there are spies, or what?

Let's say they're not exactly upstanding citizens.

First, where can I find the Space Questicon,

and second, what the heck is it?

- Diana, what is it? - Do me a big favor, Sylvester,

and have the desk clerk send this up with my luggage. Okay?

- Yeah, sure. - Thanks, Sylvester.

Hey, call me Sly! Remember?

Can I give you a hand, Mr. Kimball?

That's very kind of you.

I was wondering when we'd meet again.

Looks like you've already set up shop. You have business here?

- Just attending the convention. - I see.

Then you won't mind that Diana Prince

wanted me to ask you a few questions.

Mostly about some stolen laser equipment.

You won't have to use that.

But you will have to do something that you've never done before.

Really?

And what's that, Mr. Kimball?

Catch me.

Kimball, you wouldn't.

Sorry.

You've never been to a science fiction convention before?

I'm only going now because something here

- apparently ties into my assignment. - Really?

The convention doesn't really start until tonight,

with the masquerade contest.

- Right now they're just setting up. - I see.

- What are they doing? - Those are Logies.

Logan's Run fans.

He's a Sandman. The girls are Runners. They chase each other periodically.

They're probably practicing for a big run tonight.

Tomorrow we're gonna have continuous movies

and panels with your favorite actors and authors,

and a blood drive for charity.

- What? - A blood drive for charity.

- Hi, Janet. - Hi, Ester.

And we'll also have all these various exhibits.

In fact, we ought to go see my exhibit right now,

- before it's mobbed. - Well, I...

Come on. You'll love it.

Basically, everything's under control.

Don't forget to try to find that white glue.

I still got prizes to put together.

Excuse me. Could you tell me where I might find a Sylvester Grogan?

Ester. He just went... There he is, right there.

- We call him Ester. I'll get him. Hey... - That's all right. He looks busy.

He must be showing her his exhibit.

Wonder where he picked her up?

- Old Ester got lucky. - I'll say.

Why is the floor moving?

It's a simulation of space travel. It's neat, huh?

It's fantastic, but how about turning the lights back on?

- Please. - Okay.

A rocking floor and spinning lights.

Really impressive, Sylvester.

- These are moon rocks, huh? - Yep.

Using the special effects to display them was my idea.

See, the C-6 Club is trying to stimulate interest in space colonies.

So we thought it was only appropriate that our exhibit

showed what space travel was really like.

Please, Sylvester, enough with the lights. Okay?

Okay.

It pays to have a dad who's a heavyweight in the space program.

The Torrance folks lent us the display case as well as the moon rocks.

Impressed?

And late, I'm afraid.

I warned you I didn't have very long, Sylvester.

Sly.

- Okay, I'll walk you back to the hotel. - Good.

I was afraid you were going to do this.

Here. This way.

Watch out for anybody with overly large handbags

or suspicious-looking umbrellas.

If you have any problems, you can page me in the main area.

Sylvester, I think that he can handle it.

Right.

The masquerade contest tonight is gonna be a real trip.

I'm sure you'll have a ball.

Janet, the Black Avenger's just arrived at the hotel.

Way to go. You just ignited a mob.

They should be at the hotel in about two minutes.

That's quite a panic.

They'll never find him. He's not in his costume yet.

Nobody knows what he looks like without his costume.

- It's his trademark. - Really?

No, I can't give out the Black Avenger's room number.

I can't give you Robby the Robot's room number, either,

so stop pestering me!

I'm here to see the Black Avenger. My secretary gave me his room number.

I seem to have misplaced it. Here's my card.

You're with Paragon Studios?

Casting department. Features.

Working on a three-pic deal with the Black Avenger.

I have strict instructions not to give out any...

- Left-handed Willie. - What?

Part I've been trying to cast for three weeks.

You're perfect for it. Ever acted?

In fact,

I have done a couple of commercials.

When can you come in for a test? Tuesday okay?

Wednesday's my day off.
