The population explosion has reached a point of grave danger for the Solar System. The inhabitants of all none planets, cramped together in layers of airless living quarters, are becoming ill. If something isn’t done, the species will soon die out!
Captain Future has a solution. He has devised an ingenious means of building a new planet. His idea is hailed by the government and the people alike.
One one man secretly opposes the plan, Harley Brooks, the corrupt interplanetary tycoon, has his own plans for a Solar System Empire. He must now see that Captain Future disappears — permanently! (Summary by the narrator)
