Tim is a shy boy who doesn't do well in school or sports. He visits his old friend Dr. Wooley, who has a history of inventing things that never sell because they are too expensive. Dr. Wooley has invented a device called a "Cloner" that can make copies of physical objects. Tim tests the Cloner by copying pens and is amazed when it works. He realizes the Cloner could be Dr. Wooley's big breakthrough invention if they can show others what it can do.
