Summary
Mr. Spacely's scientist invents an indestructible suit that will protect people from dangerous objects. But then Mr. Spacely's rival W.C. Cogswell's scientist also invents the same indestructible suit. Meanwhile at the Skypad Apartment, George tells his family that they need to budget their money and that Jane is spending too much money. Later at work Mr. Spacely sends George to the doctor named Dr. Radius for a physical exam checkup. Dr. Radius sends the little flying robot inside Georges body to scan his inside body. But when the robot shoots out of Georges ear and into the mummy's body the robot tells Georges that he won't live very long. Then George Jetson goes back to work and Mr. Spacely has a discussion about who will test out the protective suit and George Jetson volunteers to be a test pilot for the dangerous job of testing out the suit, W.C. Cogswell visits Spacely and both Spacely and Cogswell competes for George Jetson by giving him job deal offers but Mr. Spacely kicks Cogswell out of his building. Later on George tells his family to go on a shopping spree. Then George Jetson has to survive the test runs before getting promoted to being Spacely's vice president and before selling the invention.
Before the last test, which involves having two missiles shot at George, Dr. Radius arrives, telling him that his early death wasn't true, as he found the robot in the mummy's body. The final test proves to be a success as well, with George and his family beginning to celebrate their new wealth. However, when Mr. Spacely comes by to collect the suit, the two discover the indestructible suit has been shredded when Jane put the suit in the washing machine. The two realize that the suit isn't washable.
