Robin recovers after getting knocked out from behind by an unknown assailant. Hudson University is still under quarantine due to a student contracting radiation poisoning. Robin discovers that his professor, Zukov, is working with Soviet spies to derail the American space program. The poisonous moon rock is a fake. Robin exposes the hoax and retrieves the source of the poison which helps NASA scientists to cure the victim. Zukov is accidentally killed while trying to do the same to Robin.
