Upon boarding the vessel with Space Mouse—a talking mouse who travels in space—Terry journeys to Jupiter and visits ICHI, the moon of little people, where he witnesses volcanic eruptions and encounters various space phenomena including meteor showers and a space station used for refueling. During their voyage, Space Mouse explains the Past-Future machine and shows Terry glimpses of Earth while the inhabitants of ICHI welcome Captain Terry as their hoped-for savior.
A helpful neighbor asks Space Mouse to paint a fence on a beautiful sunny day, and Space Mouse eagerly agrees to do the best job in town—but a hilarious misunderstanding about the paint can's instructions leads to an unexpected turn. It's a quick, clever gag that proves even the most straightforward task can go sideways when you take things a little too literally.
When a mysterious villain named Electro broadcasts from Planet Mercury that he's captured a group of Earth explorers and plans to enslave them, Space Mouse springs into action—rocket ship in hand and his companion Millie at his side. Together they brave Mercury's lethal defenses: electrical bolts, sonic attacks, and a city rigged with deadly traps, all while dodging Electro's robot guards and navigating treacherous chambers designed to stop them. It's a high-stakes rescue mission where every step forward could be their last.
Space Mouse spots what appears to be a bathing beauty on Venus through his periscope—supposedly in the name of science—but the discovery turns serious when a wicked witch kidnaps the girl and locks her in a tower to eliminate her competition in an upcoming beauty contest. Space Mouse and his companion must brave a hostile alien forest, outwit a fearsome dragon, and race against time to free the maiden and get her to the contest before the winner is announced.
Space Mouse and a companion discover a mysterious island and encounter flying saucers landing nearby—only to be captured by the craft's occupants, who can't risk having their secret exposed. Whisked away to Jupiter, they find themselves in a topsy-turvy world where the government pays taxes to its citizens and no one works, but Space Mouse hatches a daring plan to escape using an unconventional vehicle and return home to tell their incredible tale.
When a mysterious atomic growth begins spreading across Earth from Mars, Space Mouse suspects an extraterrestrial threat and blasts off in his homemade rocket with a companion to investigate. What starts as a perilous journey through space becomes a rescue mission when the pair discovers a sinister Martian scheme involving a dangerous ray machine—and one of their own disappears into a strange city on the red planet. Space Mouse must navigate alien technology, confront the forces behind the invasion plot, and find a way back to Earth before it's too late.
When a dangerous criminal kidnaps a famous starlet across the solar system, Space Mouse springs into action to track down the villain and save the day—but this pint-sized hero's moment of glory takes an unexpected turn once justice is served. A fun romp through 1950s space adventure that proves heroism and romance don't always go hand-in-hand, even in the far reaches of the galaxy.
Space Mouse uses a detection machine to hunt for buried treasure, convinced he's stumbled upon a massive cheese mine—only to discover his "strike" is actually the storage room of Sam's Cheese Dairy. A clever mix of sci-fi gadgetry and slapstick humor that proves even the best-laid plans can crumble when you're not paying attention to what's really around you.
