While returning from a leave on Earth Tom Corbett is Shanghaied by a man named Dawson, First Mate of the deep space freighter Constellation. Tom tries to explain to the Constellation’s Captain Pickering that he was a Space Cadet, but is ignored. Tom is befriended by a fellow Shanghaied shipmate, Jim Harris. The deep space freighter Constellation is destined to deep space while on Venus to top off their supplies they jump ship at Venus Space Port.
Their escape leads them straight into the hands of the Venus Space Port authorities. Is this a good thing? This episode for the first time I have seen in the series has actually left the listener with a cliff hanger. The announcer, Jackson Beck, indicates that his meeting with the Venus Port Commander may not be to Tom Corbett & Harris’s benefit.
