Dennis and his friends are fascinated by children's TV show about a space traveler named Captain Blast.
An amusing episode. Captain Blast is played by Parley Baer, a very busy character actor in movies and TV at this time. The year before this episode aired he played a Nazi in The Young Lions.
The captain has a sidekick on the show, a monkey named Lieutenant Peep. Mr. Wilson knows of the show and it thinks it giving children incorrect information about space.
There are some topical references about satellites and Cape Canaveral. When Dennis wins a contest to meet Captain Blast, Wilson comes over and tries to discredit him. Some funny and a bit touching scenes as Wilson comes to sympathize with Dennis and the kids. A chance to see he is not always the cranky old grouch.
