When the Searcher comes across an old derelict spaceship, Buck and Hawk are sent across to investigate. Inside they find a hold full of solar bombs and a crew of seven Zirdonians – mischievous dwarfs that number six generals and one overworked private. After the crew are transferred to the Searcher, Admiral Asimov decides to tow their vessel to the planet Sitov 43 so that the bombs can be safely detonated. Meanwhile, Buck turns custody of the Zirdonians over to Wilma - who is unnerved to learn that they have never seen a woman before…
