The novelette follows the adventures of a scientist, Dr. Frederick Weeks, who is unexpectedly abducted and brought to the eccentric planet Orcon.

In this thrilling narrative, Dr. Weeks awakens handcuffed in a crashed space vessel alongside a crew comprising Captain Virginia Crane and others. After discovering that Admiral Forbes has been killed and that they are stranded on Orcon, the group realizes that they are in a race against time to thwart Leider's plans for destruction against Earth.
