Dr. Charles Cargraves and retired General Thayer restart their space program, this time partnering with Jim Barnes, head of an aviation construction firm, to build a rocket that will take them to the moon. They assemble a team of industry leaders and secure their commitment to put a man on the moon first. After building and launching the rocket, they successfully land on the moon but find themselves short on fuel for the return journey. Despite stripping the ship bare, they still lack enough weight to make it back to Earth, forcing one of them to stay behind.
