Description:  Aaron is enthralled by Tony's skateboard and takes it home. He secretly goes out late at night to ride it and narrowly escaping the attention of the guards. Helen brings him home where Tony and a scolding from his brother Jason are waiting. Tony offers to make Aaron a skateboard of his own out of wood and bamboo, materials bound to draw less attention. Before long all of the town's young ones, and those young at heart, are skateboard crazy. The Prime Minister takes an interest is Aaron and his new contraption, questioning his mother about any encounters her son may have had with "strangers" on the island. The village is soon overrun by kids on skateboards, but when Quell breaks his arm, and the Prime Minister himself is injured, Aaron is thrown behind bars and a ban on skateboards is issued. At the suggestion of Tony and the others, the village children present the Prime Minister with a petition to repeal the ban. Facing overwhelming support for the children, the Prime Minister must relent, and lifts the ban.
