Buzz and Happy first discover a plot to sabotage the project when they intercept space-a-phone conversations about getting rid of GLEK. It turns out that GLEK is the more common name for “electroplast,” by the technicians who handle it. The plot is headed by Dr. Berman’s jealous former colleague (Kolgar played by Bela Kovacs).

The story follows the line of Commander Corey and his sidekick Cadet Happy chasing down and capturing Kolgar and his cohort Gorbet with the usual cliffhanger near misses for Corey and Happy.
In this episode Commander Corey and Happy first thwart an attempt to destroy the Venus “electroplast” factory. Then Commander Corey, Happy and Dr. Berman are trapped inside a block house at the factory which is surrounded by “electroplast,” or GLEK which has hardened trapping them inside with a bomb.
Next Kolgar and Gorbet, in their unidentified commercial space cruiser, attempt to destroy the “electroplast” dome that Dr. Berman is creating with a Cosmic Low Frequency Missile. Buzz and Happy of course chase them away.
Later they track down Kolgar and Gorbet on Saturn but again they are in danger when Kolgar and Gorbet begin a landslide over Commander Corey and Happy.
