Set in a futuristic universe, the story follows the quirky adventures of Lancelot Biggs, an inventive and resourceful first officer on the space freighter "Saturn". The narrative revolves around the crew's mission to the planetoid Iris, where they aim to outsmart criminal privateers, discover new resources, and establish a foothold against a corrupt regime. The plot unfolds as Lancelot Biggs and his crew, led by Captain Hanson, are unexpectedly given a mission to Iris, where they aim to exploit a legal loophole concerning natural resources in order to confront the unscrupulous Otto Steichner and his pirate crew. Despite initial challenges in uncovering pumice necessary for soap production, the crew ultimately stumbles upon a valuable oil reserve. With cleverness and resilience, Biggs navigates through various obstacles to protect his ship and crew, ultimately challenging Steichner and reclaiming the rights of the oppressed Irisians. Throughout the story, humor and camaraderie shine as Biggs copes with his unexpected medical report that declares him unfit for space travel, only to learn that it was a mix-up regarding his uncle's health. The novella combines adventure, wit, and a touch of social commentary, making it a delightful read for fans of science fiction.
