Commando Cody is testing rocket fuel for his fuel pack. He lands at headquarters and Commissioner Henderson introduces him to Ted Richards and Joan Gilbert. Commando Cody and Henderson tell Joan and Ted that they will be investigating missiles that where fired into Earth from outer space and figuring out where they came from. The meeting ends and Commando Cody tells Joan and Ted that they will be constructing a rocket in an abandoned town named Graphite. They leave for the day and an alarm goes off in Commando Cody's car and he turns around and returns to the office with Ted. They get into a fight with Ross and Dr. Varney's Hood, but Dr. Varney's Hood and Ross get away. Commando Cody gives Ted and Joan badges that also act as two-way radios.
After the alarm goes off, Commando Cody goes to the barn and gets into a fist fight with an Arsonist, while Ted gets into a shootout with Ross and Dr. Varney's Hood. The Arsonist, Ross and Dr. Varney's Hood run away and Joan and Ted help Commando Cody put out the fire that the Arsonist set. Commando Cody says hello to Clancy and asks him to drive Joan back to Graphite. Commando Cody and Ted get inside the rocket ship and do a test run. Joan turns on her two-way radio badge and Commando Cody overhears Dr. Varney's Hood tell Joan about the bomb on the rocket ship. Ted starts to land the rocket, while Commando Cody puts on his fuel pack and flies back to Graphite. Ross escapes and Dr. Varney's Hood appears to be killed when Commando Cody throws a grenade back at Dr. Varney's Hood. Henderson congratulates Commando Cody, Ted and Joan on their success as he rides in the rocket.

Radar station G-3 notifies Commando Cody, Joan and Ted that a missile is heading towards Earth. The radar station gives the coordinates where the missile will land, which is near headquarters. Henderson asks about the missile and Commando Cody radios Clancy. Clancy tells him the missile will land in the Crestline Hills. Commando Cody flies in his rocket suit towards the Crestline Hills. He finds the wreckage and radios to Ted about it.
The next day, Dr. Varney and Lenato have a meeting with Commando Cody. They show him venuscrine and Henderson thanks them for bringing it in. Henderson agrees to allow Dr. Varney and Lenato work at headquarters. Henderson tells Commando Cody to do a reconnaissance around Earth to see if The Ruler has a space station just outside the Earth's atmosphere. Commando Cody contacts Clancy who clears them entering the area where his rocket ship is stored. He arrives at the rocket ship and has Clancy drive his car back to town as he, Ted, Dr. Varney and Lenato enter the rocket ship. They fly the rocket into the air and the venuscrine increases the rocket ship's speed. Commando Cody uses the dispersal ray to safely pass through the protective space dust. He notices the ejector valve for cooling the atomic pile system has been opened too much and the exhaust vapors have condensed and partially closed. He pulls the plug on the ejector to clear the vent and clears the system.
Later, Ted calls Commando Cody and tells him about Lenato and Dr. Varney stealing his rocket. Commando Cody sneaks into the rocket ship and Lenato knocks him unconscious. Lenato invites Commando Cody to join them or die. Commando Cody agrees to help them and secretly opens the valve for cooling the atomic pile system. Exhaust starts to pour out and Levano frees Commando Cody so he can fix the problem. Commando Cody puts on his rocket suit and goes outside the rocket ship and sabotages the port steering jet. Lenato and Dr. Varney agree to surrender or be forced to float around in space. As they are returning to Earth, Dr. Varney, Lenato and Commando Cody get into a fist fight and Commando Cody shoots Lenato dead. Dr. Varney is arrested and Henderson tells Commando Cody, Joan and Ted that there will be plenty of more work for them.
