Synopsis:
The Star Rovers locate the lost Sword of Starhedron on the distant planet Adanalla. When they retrieve the sword, they suddenly forget which planet they are from. Rick believes they are Venusians, Karel believes they are Martian, and Homer thinks they are all Jovian. To prove their cases the leave the sword on an asteroid and travel to the planets in question.

The Rovers return to the asteroid with proof of their individual claims, yet they don’t even believe themselves. The sword has also been stolen, so they return to Adanalla. On the distant world they stop representatives from Venus, Mars, and Jupiter from restoring the sword’s unique radiation. They planned on using it against the Rovers true homeworld, Earth. The Rovers make peace with their opponents and the sword is left to float in space between the three worlds.
