In the story, Kenniston and his Jovian partner, Holk Or, must secure a small spaceship to retrieve treasure from the wreck of the notorious pirate John Dark, which is located on the jungle-covered asteroid Vesta. They concoct a tale of treasure to persuade a group of wealthy young thrill-seekers, led by heiress Gloria Loring, to join them for the journey.
