It's been a hard year for Nobular Quartz in his dungeon cell on the charmless desert planet Urm yet digging downwards night after night has brought him within reach of the buried map he seeks. It's been a hard year too for Captain Crom and his crew, locked up for life in the same prison. Escaping in an unlikely jailbreak their chain-gang is rescued by Crom's girlfriend. She's hijacked the President's own car to carry them across the desert to the balancing pyramid of Tedeum where local maniac Prance Operculum is holding their starship, the mighty Trinculo. But to win her back they must enter the horrifying chaos of his macabre dance contest and perform their humble Hornpipe. Against the odds Crom and most of his crew succeed in recapturing their ship and flying free in search of fresh adventures, battling an old enemy before visiting a long lost friend: that small blue planet which spawned the entire star-scattered race of Man.
