Rolly Robot works in a toy factory, in a space station at the far end of the galaxy.

He is different from all the other robots in the factory because he can think for himself. This special ability gets him into all sorts of trouble with the Big Boss. When he accidentally finds out about the secret Star Babies, it changes everything.

As an inadvertent stowaway on a delivery space ship full of Star Baby dolls, Rolly ends up millions of miles off course, tossed about by a solar storm that damages the ship beyond repair. The captain wants to abandon ship and cargo to save himself. Rolly must find a way to convince the captain to do the right thing and save the Star Babies before the ship is destroyed.

After several unsuccessful attempts, they locate a planet that looks promising just as the ship breaks up. These special Dolls arrive on Earth as Shooting Stars.

Rolly's next mission is to assist them in finding good homes with deserving children. But that's another story.
