It turns out Jake the cat can telekinetically alter the results of any sports event he sees on TV, which gives the main characters a hope of obtaining the resources they need to repair Jake's spaceship.
At one point Jake forgets that he's flying a broken-down biplane - no, there's nothing this cat can't fly, not even a federal judge - when the female cat belonging to the ingenue is carried to safety.
The inhabitant, a cat, emerges unnoticed as the military come.
The cat goes to one of the scientists, Frank Wilson, who adopts it, naming it Jake.
But then the cat speaks to Frank, telling him its name is Zunar J5/9 Doric 47, and demonstrating a range of telekinetic abilities, which are produced by the collar it wears.
