A very unpleasant seeming man called Cyrus Tycoon by his niece has appropriated her very young son and presented him to the scientific and governmental worlds as a child prodigy. The three-year-old seems to be able to come up with incredible answers to a wide range of questions but in truth Tycoon is grooming him to help the older man rack in a fortune in the stock market. At least, up until she appeals to Jet Scott for help.
