Scouts from the planet Volarnus go to Earth to size it up for invasion. They try to land on a patch of uninhabited territory that their ships echo detector confirms. They land only to realize that this uninhabited territory is the Ocean and they sink. When they don't radio back to their home planet, the other Volarnians believe that Earth is too dangerous and call off the planned invasion.
