Two escaped convicts, Gary and Lon, are discovered hiding aboard a rocket by scientist Dirk Green, who then forces them to pilot the spaceship to the Moon. Dirk, who is secretly a Moon man, wants to return home. Dirk’s friend, Steve Dayton, and Steve’s fiancée, June Saxton, are aware that the vessel is getting ready to launch, so they go to the spacecraft to investigate. Unwittingly, they lock themselves in and become passengers when the ship takes off. During the flight, they encounter a meteor shower that results in Dirk receives a fatal head wound. Before he dies, Dirk asks Steve to remain on course, hands him a medallion, and tells him that upon landing he should seek forgiveness from “the Lido."
