"The Men in the Moon" follows a space crew led by Captain Paul who encounters hostile cat-like alien beings on the lunar surface, resulting in a brief but intense battle as the invaders attempt to establish a foothold on the moon. "The Wink of an Eye" depicts Lt. Cargill and Marshal Smith aboard the Space Observation vehicle Whooshhhh, who detect an anomalous phenomenon in space that challenges their instruments and understanding, while enemy forces approach their position with unclear intentions.
