In this storyboard, 'Science Man' is a well-known and established scientist. He has entered all previous science competitions and finished 1st place in every one, without fail. However, this time he is faced with 'The Underdog', an unlikely scientist who takes on Science Man in this years competition...
In this scene, we see them both at the competition. The Underdog is announced as the winner and Science Man is distraught. Demanding a 'do-over' of the competition with The Underdog, Science Man rushes home to work on a new invention...
Staying up until the early hours, Science Man unexpectedly falls asleep in the middle of constructing his invention. Woken by his alarm, he realises he has overslept. With no time to make any amendments he must take his invention as it is to the competition. However, when getting ready to give his demonstration, he realises that the level set on his invention is dangerously high...
...Therefore, demonstrating his invention would put all those around him at terrible risk. But not giving a demonstration would cause him to forfeit the competition, leaving The Underdog the winner...again.
But, being the hero that he his, Science Man assesses his options and realises that mankind is much more important than him winning 1st prize in a science competition. So, packing up his things, he allows The Underdog to take all the glory...all for the sake of mankind :)
