Kip's jingle-writing contest prize is an old spacesuit, not the lunar trip he wanted. But when he puts it on for a final walk, a flying saucer appears and snatches him, a young girl, and an alien fugitive. Transported to the Moon, the trio must evade their captors, uncover a sinister plot, and find a way home - if they can survive the perils of space.
