Jet Morgan, pilot of the Morgan superstratoship, is asked by Steve Mitchell, an Australian and designer of an atomic rocket motor, to join him in an attempt to reach the Moon. Jet accepts and goes with Mitchell to a rocket range deep in the Australian desert where the Moon ship is being built. On arriving at the launching ground, Smith, Mitchell's director of 'space medicine' research, is found dead in his room.
