Commander Pietro (Wolfgang Petersen) tried to defect to the alien invaders, the Frogs, even if that meant his own death, now he is court-martialed, but claims he can't remember the incident.

In the meantime, the Orion under commander McLane (Dietmar Schönherr) is to install a new defense system called Overkill on several earth outposts, but weirdly enough, Space Patrol command has sent a Doctor (Erwin Linder) with them. At the first outpost, McLane and company find the robots running the station out of action, and while repairing them, Hasso (Claus Holm), the only one remaining back on the Orion, reprograms the navigation computer to head straight to the Frogs' outpost. When the others later arrive back on the ship and notice this, Space Patrol Jagellovsk is quick to try Hasso for treason - until the doctor points out that the whole incident is a work of the Frogs and has to do with telenosis, a form of hypnosis over a distance ... and now McLane sees a way to handle the Frogs a decisive blow by seemingly defecting to their side to come into striking distance and use Overkill to blow up their outpost.

And wouldn't you know it, the plan works.

Of course, most of this episode's scientific mumbo-jumbo is just plain silly, but the whole thing is still fun to watch and has high camp value. The special effects in this one range from pretty good (an exploding planet) to pathetic (the paper airplane-like alien spacecrafts attacking the Orion) - but that doesn#t hurt the fun factor one bit.
