Back at the Academy Captain Strong, Roger Manning and Astro figure out what has probably happened to Tom and try to contact Venus Space Port where the Constellation was scheduled to stop. However, Venus is in opposition to the Earth and out of communication. After setting up a complex radio relay from Earth, to Mars, to Titan, to Venus they finally talk to Chief Warrant officer Porter who admits he let the Captain take him back aboard the Constellation .

Meanwhile back aboard the Constellation, in desperation and with the assistance of the crew, who are fed up with Captain Pickering and First Mate Dawson, Tom Corbett organizes a mutiny and gains control of the control deck where he turns the Constellation back toward Venus.
In the mean time Captain Strong, Roger Manning and Astro are in hot pursuit.
Captain Pickering has Jim Harris as a hostage and tell Tom that if he turns the control deck back over to him he will not blast Jim Harris with a ray gun. Tom agrees but finds out afterward that the Captain ejected him into outer space.
Finally the Polaris crew catch up to the Constellation and Tom is rescued.
