A Tale of the Future.
Having left the Moon and, unaccountably, travelled through time, Jet Morgan and the crew of rocket ship Luna are stranded on the Earth and, so it seems, lost to their own century forever. At various times, space craft, similar to those they saw on the Moon, have hovered over them and, one night, a huge land machine came out of the forest and carried out some kind of inspection of their ship.
Then a single space craft landed nearby and established contact with Jett and his crew through their radio.
