Magnetic Ben

Magnetic Ben is the fifth episode of the first season.

Synopsis
Ben learns how to control his magnetic powers after being exposed to electromagnetic radiation!

Plot
Tom and Ben intended to win the Kentossy Derby, a horseshoe competition over the operator rights to the neighborhood vending machine. The two finalists are Ginger and the gardener vs. Tom and Ben. However, Ben was invited by university students to help them conduct an experiment, but it was at the same time as the derby. Ben insisted on going.

At the university, it was discovered that he wasn't invited to be a guest scientist; the experiment was run by Mel and Flo and Ben was a test subject. Before Ben could do anything, he was strapped to his chair and electrocuted with electromagnetic energy. Ben made it home in time for the derby, but felt down and went inside.

Once inside, he was stuck to the garage door; he was a living magnet. After struggling, he learned that calming down makes him less magnetic. He got himself unstuck and went to the derby, but the horseshoe flew towards him and hits him on the head, knocking him out.

Ginger and the gardener won once again, and Ben was somehow demagnetised after being doused in a vat of a sports drink.
