In this adventure all mankind is threatened by a mysterious cloud that comes toward Earth and emits...well...Fireballs at the planet.
When the XL5 gets to close to the cloud Steve Zodiac finds the engine compartment on fire and he goes outside the ship to put out the fire while Matt battles the blaze inside before it can get to the fuel supply and blow up the entire ship. This of course makes no sense scientifically whatsoever, but heck it is exciting.
Once the fire is out we see the ship landing at Space City. Soon Venus' home is set ablaze by a fireball from the cloud. Fortunately Steve is able to smash a window and rescue both Venus and Zoony.
Matt comes up with a daring plan to suck the cloud into the old abandoned Space station Spaceport I (looking quite a bit like a smaller scale version of the Death Star in "Star Wars"). The plan almost works but at the last minute a fuse blows inside the death star--I mean Spaceport I and Steve must do a spacewalk and manually throw a switch--and hopefully survive the explosion that is sure to follow! This is an adventure that's full of mystery, suspense, thrills and adventure. It's interesting that Matt uses water to try and put out the fire on Fireball while Ninety uses foam to put out a fire at space city. We see Venus shed tears which looks pretty cool. But I have to wonder about Space City's fire department. Venus' house burns down completely and the fire department NEVER gets there! All in all a slammin' thrill ride of an adventure despite its usual scientific flaws.
