In this latest exciting Space Cadet story Tom Corbett and his friends, Astro, and Roger
Manning, participate in the most daring undertaking in all space history. While on an
experimental trip in the Polaris to test out some new equipment, they and Captain Connel
learn of a scheme of a pair of notorious space freebooters to steal the rich mineral
resources of one of the planet Tara's small satellites. To foil the scheme the members of the
Polaris crew themselves land on the satellite with the daring plan to blast it out of Tara's orbit
and into Earth's orbit where its valuable mineral wealth may replenish Earth's shortages.
When the freebooters capture Tom and the Polaris, leaving Captain Connel and the
other cadets on the dislodged satellite, hurtling through space toward Alpha Centauri, its
sun, the situation becomes desperate indeed.
However, Tom manages to outwit the space bandits, recaptures the Polaris, and then to
rescue his companions from a fiery death on the runaway satellite.
