Dr. Charles Cargraves and retired General Thayer must restart their moon mission after a failed rocket launch. They partner with Jim Barnes, head of an aviation construction firm, to build a new rocket.

Stripping the ship bare, they still remain 100 lbs overweight, forcing one of them to stay behind.
