Because of his excellent connections to the Space Patrol, science
fiction author Ibsen (Reinhard Glemnitz) has secured himself a place upon
the patrolship Orion on her next mission, much to the dismay of Commander
McLane (Cietmar Schönherr) and crew. And at first, it seems that McLane
has every reason not to trust the author too much when Ibsen, upon his
first solo mission in a shuttle (called landset in the series) crashlands
it on a nearby asteroid ... a penal colony no less. It's only when the
Orion lands on the asteroid as well that it turns out the crash wasn't
Ibsen's fault at all, the convicts on the asteroid led by Tourenne
(Wolfgang Büttner) have used a forcefield to get the landset here to lure
the Orion to the asteroid on a rescue mission, to finally escape the
asteroid on the Orion and defect to the Frogs (the extraterrestrial
invaders of the series). And with the Orion caught in a forcefield, it
seems Tourenne gets his will.
But McLane isn't one to give up, and together with Ibsen he makes up a
plan to overload the forcefield by crashing a shuttle into it, break the
Orion free, and then overcome Tourenne and his men by raw force. And
wouldn't you know it, our heroes succeed, too ...
Maybe the most humourous episode of the series (intentionally humourous
that is), with Reinhard Glemnitz gloriously hamming it up as the somewhat
out-of-place science fiction author and Schönherr (intentionally) sulking
his way through the story for having to play second fiddle.
Not great, but wildly amusing.
