Cast of Buck Rogers In The 25th Century

In the last episode Buck and Wilma were back onboard the pursuit rocketship and were again picking up Black Barney’s rocket trail, where they had left it when they were diverted to Dr. Huer’s laboratory. The trail is strong and as they arrive in the vicinity of the ruined city of Philadelphia the rocket trail makes a sudden turn then suddenly the trail disappears.

We pickup this episode still aboard the pursuit rocketship puzzling over where Killer Kane and Ardala’s stolen rocketship has gone. While circling around the ruined city of Philadelphia they finally encounter another rocket trail. But the Gas Analyzer readings are indicating a different reading, one that would indicate a Rocket Dampener was in use. Their problem is that they understood the test rocketship that was stolen had been stripped down and all unnecessary equipment removed. Buck and Wilma are uncertain if the Rocket Dampener had been removed from the test ship so they decide to contact Dr. Huer to find out. Unfortunately, the Central Radio Bureau reports Dr. Huer is on his way to the City of Omaha to see Elmo the head of the city. The Central Radio Bureau operator suggests they wait a few minutes and try to contact Dr. Huer at Elmo’s office.

When we left the last episode Captain Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering were with Dr. Huer in his laboratory who was explaining his latest invention which is the Gyro Cosmic Relativator. A device for a rocketship that makes it possible to take off without much loss of time for pickup without the usual physical effects of too-quick acceleration. It removes from your ship the normal effects of weight and inertia and momentum. There is practically NO limit to the speed of a rocketship, immediately upon taking off.

Just then they heard a loud roaring followed by what sounds like a ship crashing. Looking outside they see a Martian ship with Black Barney, Prime Minister of Mars, and Willy exiting the ship. It seems that Black Barney used the Gyro Cosmic Relativator to assist their high speed landing.
