Mysterious disappearances of tellerium-laden space freighters have Commander Buzz Corry and his Cadet Happy investigating a sinister plot, only to find themselves caught in the grip of a powerful magnetic force pulling their own vessel toward the asteroid Hela. There they discover the mastermind behind the thefts: Dr. Hess, a brilliant scientist coerced by his ruthless wife Margo into weaponizing a super-magnet for interplanetary piracy. With their ship held fast and their lives hanging in the balance, Corry and Happy must find a way to break free and stop the criminals before more freighters fall prey to the outlaw operation.
