Rocky Jones, Space Ranger

- Season 1

(1954)

Professor Newton, a brilliant scientist, has broken all ties with the Federation and taken up residence on the alien world of Ophecius. Vena Ray convinces Commissioner Drake that the professor is not a traitor, but is being held against his will. Drake orders Rocky, Winkie and Vena to fly to Ophecius, fake a forced landing and find out whether the Professor is really friend or foe.

On the way to Ophecius to check out the defection of Professor Newton, The Orbit Jet has had to stop at the RB-5 refueling station for repairs. An unsuspected ship shot a hole in the hull. Now that it has been fixed, Rocky, Winkie and Vena Ray head for Ophecius. They approach the planet faking an emergency with a broken retro-rocket. Queen Cleolanta agrees to let them land hoping to persuade them that Ophecius is a wonderful place to live. Unknown to Rocky and friends, she has used a device in her headquarters to put Bobby in a trance to sing of Ophecian virtues. She ...

The Orbit Jet has escaped from the planet Ophecius with Rocky, Winkie, Vena Ray, Professor Newton and Bobby aboard. Cleolanta is furious, even more so when she learns that Darganto was forced into revealing that Griff is the mole in the Office of Space Affairs. Griff is quickly warned that his cover is blown and instructed to set up some explosives that will destroy the Orbit Jet when it is on the launch pad. Griff overpowers Secretary of Space Drake and forces him at gunpoint to comply with his instructions. Rocky is suspicious when only Griff is available on the ...

Bobby discovers a meteor heading straight for earth, but the meteor is not what it seems. Rocky goes in space to investigate where it came from.

Landing on Fornax with its heavy gravitational field has left the Orbit Jet's fuel tanks empty. Rocky and the crew are depending on their being life on Fornax to replenish their tanks for the return trip. After checking that the atmosphere is safe to breathe, they approach a large building. The door opens and Zorovac, ruler of Fornax, greets them. With him is Pofessor Cardos, a scientist who disappeared under suspicious circumstances a few years in the past. Professor Newton and Rocky are distrustful of Cardos. Using their electronic equipment to eavesdrop, they learn...

Rocky and Winkie take Fornax leader Zorovac to visit Earth. Once there and visiting with Secretary Drake, he sees that Cardos was misleading him about Earth's actions. While they are away, Cardos conspires to send more warhead-equipped missiles to Earth. Griff, whose ship had earlier been disabled by Rocky, manages to radio Cados and have him help his ship land on Ophecius. Cleolantha learns about his mission and talks Darganto into flying to Fornax and exploiting their high-energy crystals for her own use. Bobby catches wind of all these plans, but is nabbed before ...

Tuck Harmon, with several suitcases full of stolen money, steals a rocket ship and plans to live out his days on his own private moon. After several failed comedic attempts by his sidekick Winky to get a date for the night, Secretary Drake, Head of the Space Rangers, finally gets through and Rocky gets the call to chase Tuck down. When Tuck Harmon sends out a mayday call after his ship is struck by Meteors, it is Rocky to the rescue. After it is revealed that Tuck is superstitious, they touch down on a local moon, Tuck's ultimate destination. There Bobby, Rocky's ...

Flying through space, the Orbit Jet encounters foul weather - lightning and thunder. Rocky speculates that they have hit an atmosphere chain that must have formed between two bodies that were close to each other. Vena is tutoring Bobby on board the Orbit Jet. He does well with his mathematics, but is not receptive about reading the poetry she has assigned - The Odyssey. Rocky tells Bobby that Ulysses had great adventures. Shortly after that, an aircraft approaches them and releases a volley of shots. Rocky pulls the rocket back into space where they cannot go. Their ...

Rocky and his crew have been incommunicado with Secretary Drake for so long that he has given up hope of hearing from them again. He makes a sad announcement to the rest of the ranger corps. On Posita, Rocky has given up hope of fixing the Orbit Jet without help from Bavaro. He sends Vena to plead with Cotanda for his help. Bavaro is not about to acquiesce. While on board the ship, a Negato airplane traverses the atmospheric stream broadcasting mind-numbing music. Cotanda explains that this is what Negato uses as warfare tactics. She says that the planet was unified a...

The Orbit Jet takes Torvac from Negato to meet with Bavaro on Posita. The two leaders are ready to make peace with each other. As Rocky and crew head back toward Earth, they hear Cleolanta launch her scheme using prerecorded transmissions of his voice. She makes it appears that Rocky has requested Secretary Drake to head to Ankapor for a meeting of various leaders. Cleolanta is masquerading as Vena Ray while Atlasande is impersonating Rocky. Secretary Drake arrives as expected. Rocky and crew quickly decide that they will need to wear disguises, too, so that they ...

The United Planets are attempting to build an outpost on the planet Casa 7. Cargo ships with contributions from several planets have gone missing. The latest is Earth's ship CM7 carrying Ranger Reggie and Vena Ray. Vena hopes to visit her brother who is working on Casa 7. On their approach to the planet, the pair suddenly find their instruments and rocket propulsion systems neutralized. Shortly thereafter, they are boarded by a rogue ship that confiscates their cargo. The pirate leader is the nefarious Rinkman who uses neutralizing technology developed by Dr. Vanko. ...

With the Orbit Jet magnetically coupled to the disabled CM7, Rocky brings the rescued Vena and Reggie to Casa 7. Vena's brother Paul is there to greet her. While Paul shows Vena, Bobby and Reggie around, Rocky studies the solar system atlas and deduces that the pirates must be using the planetoid Prah as their base operations base. No ship has ever landed on Prah; there seems to be some sort of defensive barrier. Three ships have tried and were never heard from again. Because the mission may be so dangerous, Rocky and Winkie sneak away in the Orbit Jet before Vena and...

Rocky and Winkie return to Casa 7 after escaping from the pirates of Prah. But the radio operator Ken, who arranges for the Orbit Jet to land, is in league with the pirates. He lets Rinkman, Dr. Vanko and Cleolanta know about their return. As Rocky and Winkie greet Vena Ray, Bobby and Paul, Rinkman quickly flies to Casa 7. Ken learns of the cold lamp and turns it on to hide the Orbit Jet in place. Then he and Rickman surprise Rocky and imprison him aboard the Orbit Jet with Haggar Nu, a Martian who also was on to Ken's disloyalty. Rickman's men force Winkie, Vena, ...

Rocky is off again, this time to investigate a vague "need aid" message from a space station. It is discovered that radiation poisoning is to blame and the source is Agar of the planet Medina. Agar went to the Forbidden Moon and is the only one to ever survive. He did it with the help of a plant that gives immunity to the moon's "cosmic" radiation. Now Agar, a walking radiation pump, plans to rule the universe with this. Agar will give the immunity to his sister Yarra (he "shares" the rule of Medina with her) and his people and threaten all others with the radiation ...

Rocky, Winky, Professor Newton and Vena repair Agar's spacecraft at space station RV5 and chase after him. Agar has stolen the Orbit Jet with Bobby aboard, hoping to reach the planet Medina where he can carry out his scheme for dominating the universe. He has been exposed to heavy radiation on the Forbidden Planet but has discovered a plant that can neutralize its otherwise fatal effects. Agar attempts to convince his sister Yarra of the plan, but she is skeptical. Bobby is brought before her. In his honest and open responses to her questions, he wins his release. As ...

Agar forces Rocky to fly the Orbit Jet to the Forbidden Moon. On board are Winky, Vena, Bobby, Professor Newton, Yarra and three of Agar's henchmen. Rocky is able to alert the Secretary of their destination before the radio signal fades. Agar is in interested in a supply of the plants that grow there that can impart immunity to the fatal radiation that can be spread from one exposed person to another. Professor Newton finds the plants and sets up a serum production facility inside a cavern. Agar waits until enough serum has been amassed that he can start taking over ...

Rocky is slated to pilot the Orbit Jet to Space Station X-07 carrying Dr. Hillary Tyson and a group of ambassadors to the Interplanetary Peace Conference. Vena Ray pleads with Secretary Drake to let her go. But it was unnecessary as Rocky had already selected her as his navigator. He is also bringing Bobby to help keep the ship's log during the mission. The conference is being held in a neutral zone near the planetoid Paratain in the Jupiter equilateral. Cleolantha has heard about the conference and is resentful that she has not been invited. Her first angry reaction ...

Atlasande and his crew board Space Station X-07 to take Dr. Tyson and his gathering of ambassadors as hostages. Meanwhile, Rocky has landed on Paratain. He calls Tyson to see how things are going. Atlasande realizes he'd better let Tyson speak or Rocky will know things are fishy. Tyson manages to raise Rocky's suspicions anyway by confirming that he will see him in 24 hours, not the 72 hours they had agreed on earlier. After the call, Atlasande loads his hostages on his ship to take them to Ophecius. Rocky calls again to re-check Tyson's time change, but gets no ...

Rocky declares that the Ophecians have violated the exchange agreement in keeping Dr. Tyson as a hostage. Tyson, hearing how things are going, secretly slips a pill into his mouth. The Ophecians lock Rocky and the others in the conference room, sealing it with a 3-hour time-lock. As the Ophecians get set to leave, Darganto tries to reassert his leadership over Atlasande. When Atlasande refuses, Darganto launches an initiative to make Atlansande look bad. He and Griff duck into a mechanical room and shut off the oxygen supply for the station. On the way to the Ophecian...

The Space Ranger's Space Center is plagued with a series of sabotage incidents - the radio system going on the blink, tires of the Secretary's car flattened, sounds of a cat and dog fighting outside their dorm windows. The culprit is Kip, the son of a convicted criminal who is incarcerated at the Ranger's prison. He is acting out in retaliation for his father's woes. Rocky takes on the challenge of showing Kip that he can use his talents as an electronics whiz to gain the respect of the Ranger staff. Instead of punishing him, he takes him on a mission to a planet ...

Secretary Drake, accompanied by Rocky and Winky, has gone to Ophecius to try one more time to get Cleolanta to join the United Worlds of the Solar System. She vehemently refuses saying, "I don't need any help!" and gives them one hour to vacate her planet or be destroyed. When Rocky calls refueling Space Station O.W.9 expecting to hear Ranger Andrews' voice, he is puzzled. That's because Vena Ray is disguising her voice as Andrews. She, Bobby and Professor Newton have hitched a ride to the space station to surprise the Orbit Jet on its return. Rocky is distressed ...

The gypsy moon Posita will collide with Ophesius in a month. Rocky attempts to convince Cleolanta of her planet's doom. Secretary Drake and Posita's leader Bovaro fly to Negato for help.

Two moons are about to collide and Rocky has to race to save the peoples of both moons.

The Silver Moon XV-3 spacecraft returns to an Earth that is suffering from a cold spell. Professor Mayberry's hopes to fish and Vena's daydreams about beach time are dashed. Once they have landed, Secretary Drake introduces the crew to Rudy DiMarco, a new Olympic champion as well as star in both classroom and lab activities. He is accompanied by his mentor Dr. Reno. Drake indicates that Juliandra, suzerain (i.e., queen) of Herculon is anxious to promote understanding and goodwill between her planet and Earth now that they have joined the United Planets. She proposes ...

While Rocky is on Herculon, Professor Mayberry is studying the sun to determine why Earth is suffering a protracted cold spell. Secretary Drake is reluctant to let the public know there is something wrong with the sun. Most of the world is taking the snowy weather as an excuse to enjoy some vacation time. Dr. Reno, who has ulterior political motives, tries to sneak away despite Secretary Drake's directive to stay in place. On Herculon, Bobby, Griff and Vena are sunbathing. Because static is interfering with radio transmissions, Rocky decides that the Silver Moon ...

Rocky, Biff, and Vena are aboard the Silver Moon XV-3 spacecraft that is returning to Earth. Rocky goes to check in with Vena about her navigation reports. He chides her for not doing her work as the reports are not on the clipboard as expected. There is just dust on the floor beneath it. Vena is nonplussed about the missing reports because she has copies in the desk draw. They are dust, too, as is the wooden shaft of her pencil. Some of the instruments with wooden housing are suddenly loose. Rocky calls United World headquarters as requests an emergency landing ...

The Silver Moon XV-3 spacecraft returns to Earth after its reconnaissance mission of the moon Circo. Professor Mayberry warns Secretary Drake that all wood on Earth will disintegrate if no action is taken. He suggests building a series of giant space mirrors that could reflect the high energy particle back toward Circo. Rocky says that this can only be accomplished in time if all other nonessential manufacturing is shut down. This would mean that the entire public would be aware of the dire situation. Meanwhile, the escaped Agar has donned a disguise hoping that it ...

Earth is suffering wood degradation under the intense flux of high-energy particles coming from the moon Circo. The shelves in the Office of Space Affairs labs collapse, breaking and spilling the contents of chemical containers. Global plans are made for C-Day, a time when each person will aim a small mirror toward Circo along with the reflections from giant space mirrors that have been built. The hope is that the returned beam will disable its source. At the same time, Rocky and Biff, who have flown the Silver Moon to Herculon, will drop magnetic elements onto Circo ...
