Cadet Happy is ordered to "meet and greet" two new cadets who are the scions of prominent members of the government. He takes an immediate interest in pretty Joan "Jo" Vance, but Ferris Macklin, the son of the governor of Triton, immediately expresses his discontent with being forced to join the Space Patrol. Their relationship is further strained when Macklin blames Happy for taking Corry's space cruiser through a meteor belt causing a crash landing when he, in fact, disobeyed Happy's orders concerning their course.
