Joan Gilbert and Ted Richards speak with Henderson. He tells them that they are hired and that they will be adapting atomic power for rocket ship propulsion. He tells them that their work is Top Secret and even the people who work for Commando Cody do not know who he is due to his constant wearing of a mask. Commando Cody lands at headquarters and Henderson introduces him to Ted and Joan. 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.

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.

Henderson goes to headquarters and tells Commando Cody, Joan and Dick Preston that The Ruler has temporarily stopped the flooding in order to give his ultimatum. Earth must disperse the protective cosmic dust and allow his occupational forces to take over Earth. The message then continues that they must respond within 24 hours. Commando Cody comes up with the idea to delay message to The Ruler for a few days in order for him to work on a solution for countering the bombs. Henderson contacts Baylor and asks for more time. Later, Commando Cody, Joan and Dick dispense a counter-gas and Henderson contacts them and tells them that the spaceship is heading from the Moon to the east coast of the United States. Back at headquarters, Dick reveals that he was wearing a life preserver the entire time.

Henderson walks into the room and tells Commando Cody that the research building was a total loss and continues that an epidemic has developed in all the areas hit with the explosions. Commando Cody tells him that if they follow the path of the attacks, the next target will be their city. He tells Henderson that he plans on attacking the enemy rocket before its next attack. Later, Henderson stops by the office and tells Commando Cody that M-7 Captain refused to divulge much information. Commando Cody tells him that they found the anti-toxin in the M-7 and it has been passed to the pharmaceutical companies. He shows Henderson the weapon from the M-7 which uses saterium, which only comes from one of the moons on Saturn. He tells Henderson of his plan to destroy the saterium deposits so The Ruler won't be able to recharge his weapons.

Henderson stops by the office and tells Commando Cody and the others that astronomers are baffled about why the sun has disappeared. Commando Cody thinks it is due to something The Ruler is doing. Later, Commando Cody tells Henderson, Dick and Joan that the astronomers think perhaps someone is affecting the atomic reactions on the sun. Commando Cody tells Henderson that someone from Station 8 added something to the cosmic dust. After going to Station 8, Commando Cody goes back to the office and tells Henderson that Baylor managed to escape, but he left enough paperwork to figure out that The Ruler is using a ray machine to block the sun from planet M-27.

After Dick disappears on one of The Ruler's rockets, Henderson thinks Dick is a traitor, but Commando Cody thinks there must be another explanation. Henderson tells Commando Cody that if he sees the N-6 rocket he must shoot it out of the sky, even if Dick is on it.

Commando Cody, Dick and Joan wait for The Ruler's call along with Henderson so they can try and track where the call is coming from. The Ruler comes on the radio, but it turns out to be just a recording of him. The recording says that Commando Cody will receive seven messages and after each message the people of Earth will learn of a multiple way that Earth will be destroyed. Joan calls monitoring who gives her the location of where the message was coming from. She gets off the phone and tells the others that it seems brighter outside. They all come to the window and Commando Cody uses a polarizer and sees that there appears to be a second sun in the sky. Commando Cody tells Henderson that the Earth can survive two suns, but only through stringent worldwide emergency measures. The phone rings and the Security Commission asks to speak with Henderson and then Commando Cody tells them how they should react to what is happening. After another sun appears, Henderson calls Commando Cody and tells him that people are saying it is the end of the world. Henderson tells Commando Cody that the Security Commission wants to have a meeting and Commando Cody and the others take the rocket back to Earth.
