A large asteroid hurtles through space on a collision course with the Moon. As Moonbase Alpha is located within the impact area, the staff quickly formulates a plan to avert disaster. To guarantee the asteroid's destruction, twelve nuclear charges will be planted at strategic locations. But then a mysterious alien appears to Commander Koenig and says that their two worlds must collide for her race to be saved. Can Koenig believe her? Will anyone on Moonbase Alpha believe him?
