Secretary Drake is reluctant to let the public know there is something wrong with the sun. Most of the world is taking the snowy weather as an excuse to enjoy some vacation time. Dr. Reno, who has ulterior political motives, tries to sneak away despite Secretary Drake's directive to stay in place. On Herculon, Bobby, Griff and Vena are sunbathing. Because static is interfering with radio transmissions, Rocky decides that the Silver Moon should return to Earth. As he is leaving, Rudy hands him a letter for Secretary Drake. He seems unusually pleased with its contents. Back on Earth, Professor Mayberry explains his theory of the cold sun. Somehow, some of its contents have formed a solid shell that is blocking outgoing solar radiation. He suggests that the Space Rangers take two totanic missiles to a newly discovered moon of Mercury named Torita. Because the sun is cool, they should be able to land there. If they shoot the missiles into the sun, that will "stoke the fires" such that their heat will melt the interfering shell. Rocky is having difficulty in finding his way through space because the static caused by the sun has taken out their visiograph and radio. He heads for Space Station OW9. Under cover of the static, the pirate Pinto Vortando and two ruffians have attacked OW9, taken some valuable equipment and destroyed its stabilization generator. Rocky is barely able to dock there. He manages to rescue Clark from the wobbling station. They give chase to Pinto and manage to capture him after shooting several missiles at his ship. Pinto and his two aids are taken aboard in custody. When they land on Earth, Secretary Drake tells Rocky that the Silver Moon is to be one of the two ships that will deploy the totanic missiles at the sun. The other is the XV9 under the direction of Dr. Reno (with questionable loyalties). Rocky hands Drake the letter from Rudy. It is an unsettling message because it indicates that Juliandra plans to marry Rudy. Rudy will then rule Herculon. This is part of Rudy's plan to take over Herculon for his own purposes.
