At the start of the story, Jack and Mark engage in an animated debate about the authenticity of a newspaper article they brought back from Mars, which claims that a field of diamonds was discovered on the moon. They bring in their professors to help interpret the article, confirming their suspicions. Excited by the prospect of the expedition, they start planning their journey to the moon. However, there is a twist as Mark later disappears after exploring a mysterious nearby old house, leading to Jack's growing concern for his friend.
