The first follows a warden dealing with criminals on the run who seek escape through a prison ship, with help from Molly and two smaller characters who offer assistance in foiling the criminals' plans. The second story features Space Mouse and his son Bob, who are recruited by a doctor to travel to Mars and manage insect hatcheries, only to discover the doctor has betrayed them to take the colony for himself—leading to a showdown where Space Mouse works with Bob and a cowboy character to thwart the doctor's scheme in a Western-style confrontation.
When the Earth Embassy on the Moon calls Super Pup with an emergency, he rockets to the lunar surface to find robots attacking and the Ambassador dead—but nothing quite adds up. Super Pup digs deeper into the conflict between the Moon Men and Earth's representatives, uncovering a conspiracy that goes far beyond a simple alien uprising. With the truth finally exposed, Super Pup takes on a new role to set things right and restore peace between the two worlds.
Space Mouse and Molly's sightseeing tour takes a dark turn when they visit the Penal Planet—a high-security asteroid prison—only to have escaped convicts stow away aboard their ship. Forced to serve as unwilling accomplices while the criminals attempt a daring getaway into uncharted space, Space Mouse must use quick thinking and resourcefulness to warn an incoming rescue vessel without putting Molly in further danger. It's a high-stakes game of wits and nerve as the stakes climb with every passing moment.
Space Mouse stumbles upon a sinister scheme when a mysterious oversized mosquito lures him into the jungle—and straight into the lair of a mad scientist breeding giant insects to conquer Earth. Trapped and blackmailed, Space Mouse must infiltrate the doctor's Martian hatcheries while secretly plotting with the man's conflicted son to stop the plan before the insect army is unleashed on the world.
Spotty the Pup is a well-meaning but perpetually clumsy ranch hand trying to prove himself to his boss Pete Pooch—and win the heart of Pete's daughter Pansy—by mastering the essential cowboy skills of roping, bronco-busting, and shooting. When cattle rustlers led by the outlaw Black-Jack Bear steal Pete's prize bull Homer, Spotty gets his chance to show what he's made of, though his bumbling methods and wildly off-target marksmanship lead to unexpectedly heroic results.
