Synopsis:
A mad scientist named Jennings invents a rocket ship capable of space travel. With the help of a gang boss named Enzil, Jennings kidnaps a group of families, intending to take them into space to start a Mars colony. Flash manages to board the rocket as it is leaving Earth, but he is unable to stop the takeoff.

The ship lands on Mars where it is threatened by the Kriglo, a race of Martian spider-men. Enzil is killed by the Kriglo, but Flash manages to free the ship and convince Jennings to return to Earth.
