Baloo is threatened to be replaced by a robot. Prof. Martin Tork is confident that his new machine, the Auto Aviator, can do what any ace pilot can do and better. However, Baloo points out that even a machine has to have faults. This makes Tork's major buyer, Shere Kahn, begin to have his own doubts in the machine. He makes a deal with Tork that if his machine wins in a race against Baloo, he'll buy a 1000 of them. The race begins, a flight to Tundra City to pick up cargo and return. Flight time: About 40 hours. With every freelancing pilot's, Shere Kahn's Elite Pilot Squad's, and Higher for Hire's jobs on the line; Baloo has to prove that machines can't best the best

Baloo wants a two week vacation, but Becky refuses to grant him one. Baloo comes up with the idea of having Wildcat pretend he's a Dr. Gesundheit the Rocket Scientist. Wildcat then asks Baloo to fly to Mars and guarantees free publicity. Becky goes along with the charade and is given a radio to communicate to while he's 'in space.' Becky spends all day talking to Baloo, asking him to bring back items from space. Baloo starts to improvise, but eventually pretends that he's attacked by Martians and throws the radio into the lake. However, it turns out the military was listening in on their communications and begin preparing for a Martian invasion.

When a reward is put on Don Karnage, he's insulted. He puts on a full attack on the cliff cannons. When he's victorious, he decides to boast in an old fashion manner: on a hot air balloon. At that same moment, Baloo is delivering several canisters of glue from a glue factory. Don Karnage is knocked out of the sky and onto the Sea Duck. Once inside, the two quarrel knocking themselves out the rear hatch. When Karnage climbs back to safety, he heroically pulls Baloo up too. Then one of the canisters comes loose and covers the two. They become glued together. Since Karnage saved Baloo's life, he promises not to turn Karnage in for the reward in return. And the pirates think Baloo killed their captain, so they attack the Sea Duck. To make matters worst, they discover that they have until 6 o'clock (3 hours) to get back to the glue factory and un-stick themselves before it becomes permanent.

Louie and Baloo are going to Macadamia to drop off cargo and pick up some Macadamia nuts. But the cities economy had dropped since their last visit. When they went to the king to collect their payment and nuts, they're turned away. When they protest, a Chancellor Trample comes and tells them that they cannot afford to pay them. When Baloo and Louie investigate, they find that the chancellor is intentionally running the economy into the ground in hopes the absent-minded king will force princess Lotta L'Amour to marry him. With their income and cargo still needed, and now the help of the princess, Baloo and Louie decide to stay and help prove the chancellor is cheating the royal family.
