During the events of The Phantom Planet (1961) played by Tony Dexter

Captain Frank Chapman is brought before Sessom, Judge Eden and Juror 1, Juror 2, Juror 3, Juror 4, Juror 5, Juror 6, and Juror 7 by Herron. Chapman demands to speak with Sessom and asks to learn about their gravity control. Herron tells Sessom, Chapman may be a spy for The Solarites, but Sessom calls him too untrusting. Later, Chapman tells Zetha that he likes her and as they are walking away, Herron walks out from Chapman's space helmet. Herron goes to Sessom and accuses Chapman of forcing himself on Liara and Zetha. Herron then demands a duel with Chapman. Judge Eden explains the rules to Chapman and shows him the effects of standing on any of the two gravity plates, which causes evaporation. The duel begins and Chapman emerges victorious, and also spares the life of Herron. That night, Chapman wakes up to Herron holding a knife to his face. Herron then tells Chapman the if he helps him then he might be able to help him get off of Rayton. As Herron is telling Chapman his plan, an alarm goes off. Sessom and Herron use the gravitational control to break up the attack and destroy the Solarites. The Solarite prisoner escapes and attacks Sessom, alerting, Chapman, Herron and Liara. Chapman goes to look for the Solarite while Herron and Liara help Sessom. The Solarite attacks Chapman, but he manages to destroy it with the help of of Herron by pushing it onto a gravity plate. Herron tells Chapman tonight is the best time to get him back onto his planet and tells him his plan. Before he leaves, Chapman wishes Herron happiness with Liara and then he walks away.
