Commander Correy has his assistant Security officer Tonga on Titan (Saturn’s sixth moon) to investigate a scheme to pirate uranium mines which involves a feud between a spaceport official and a grizzled old veteran space pilot named Captain Gustav Krueger (Marvin Miller).

Captain Krueger in his ancient space freighter The “Lonesome Lena” has been plying Saturn and the Saturn Moons space lanes for decades. He is a “seat of the pants” pilot who chews Calium Seeds (from Venus) as a natural cure for Space Sickness. The only drawback for the Calium Seeds is they turn your fingers purple.
