What happens
Buzz Corey and Happy Haffey land their ship on Planet X after the native Ortho guides them by thought waves, only to find themselves under attack from Prince Baccarati's ship. Earlier, the Space Patrol had been planning a careful assault on Planet X to protect enslaved natives and captive technicians. Meanwhile, a million-credit robbery on Jupiter is traced to Baccarati's henchman Slag Cronin, who was helped by a gas that left the guards unable to resist. Buzz and Happy pursue Cronin, who has been ordered by Baccarati to hide in the Dargot ruins.
Outer space, the Space Patrol headquarters, Jupiter, and Planet X, including a desolate region, a hidden golden valley, and the ancient Dargot ruins.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
