A pulpy 1950s sci-fi serial about a heroic inventor battling lunar invaders with futuristic gadgetry, driven by earnest action and wide-eyed wonder at space exploration.

When the nation's defences are being sabotaged and destroyed, Cody learns that an atomic-gun is being used and that the men on the moon are the culprits.
