"Cosmic Whiz Kid" is the eleventh episode of the 1st season of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
Buck isn't the only 20th century human to survive into the future: a small boy named Hieronymus Fox is a genius from Buck's time. The 11-year-old child's brilliance makes him the popular ruler of the planet Genesia, until he is kidnapped by Roderick Zale and is threatened with death unless his planet pays a heavy ransom - a huge sum that Genesia cannot hope to raise. Fox's bodyguard, Lt. Dia Cyrton, having escaped capture, enlists the aid of Buck and Wilma to save her planet's valued leader, whose inhabitants cannot do without.
