The Planet Patrol:
Solar System Stake-Out

For slide based planetariums

Join planetary investigator Sam Snork and his assistant Elmo as they cruise for clues, look for leads, and use the latest in crime-solving equipment to investigate the planets in our Solar System and find out what makes the Earth so special.

Sam and Elmo are two aliens whose employment is endangered if they can’t find the source of the Chin-Cee knife commercial that interrupted the boss’ favorite television program. With the help of Miss Memory, the library computer, they travel to our solar system and visit all of the planets. (We must warn you in advance. They do not visit the planets in any particular order.)

After bouncing from planet to planet and joyriding on the Moon, these two galactic gumshoes finally reach Earth where they discover not just source of the commercial broadcast but also an entire world of intriguing possibilities.
