(voice of Philip Bolden)–who are stowaways on Apollo 11's first manned space mission to the Moon.

As they board the spaceship, Nat, Scooter, and I.Q. encounter problems when they are discovered and placed in a test tube where they remain until an electrical short interferes with the ship's engine. They escape the tube and repair the faulty wire.
