After Buzz receives a distress call from the planet Artrona, the two patrolmen intercept an interstellar ship, and Buzz is taken captive by the pirate Captain Tukoja, who arrives aboard in an inhibitor-beam-equipped vessel. The story follows the rivalry and shifting alliances between Buzz, Spangler, and Tukoja as the criminals and the patrol find themselves in a tense standoff over a valuable cargo of metronium.

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.
