Professor Mayberry's hopes to fish and Vena's daydreams about beach time are dashed. Once they have landed, Secretary Drake introduces the crew to Rudy DiMarco, a new Olympic champion as well as star in both classroom and lab activities. He is accompanied by his mentor Dr. Reno. Drake indicates that Juliandra, suzerain (i.e., queen) of Herculon is anxious to promote understanding and goodwill between her planet and Earth now that they have joined the United Planets. She proposes an exchange of outstanding young citizens to help with this endeavor, hoping Rocky will be Earth's exchange personage. She offers Biffin Cardoza. Rudy challenges Rocky to a boxing match to demonstrate his superiority as the exchange person. He beats Rocky in the match, so Drake agrees he will be the one. Soon, the Silver Moon is bound for Herculon. Unknown to Rocky and Secretary Drake, Rudy intends to overthrow the United Planets with the help of the old guard on the former enemy world. He contacts Trimbi of the underground rebel movement. Dr. Reno and Trimbi sneak up on a sleeping Vena. Using a special ray, they force her to write a note to Rocky that she has been kidnapped and the spot where she hopes he can rescue her. When Rocky arrives at the designated spot, he is jumped by rebels. Luckily, Biff helps Rocky drive them off. Bobby manages to find the room where Vena had been placed. Professor Mayberry has determined that current sunspots are interfering with radio transmissions between planets. For the time being, Rocky is unable to talk with anyone on Earth.
