Synopsis for "The Great Plutonium Plot"
A renegade scientist is stealing all the Plutonium in the galaxy. He hopes to rule the Solar System with his "Teleportator," but needs the radioactive chemical to power it. The Space Ranger follows a few space pirates (via an Audium trail - soundwaves) and is able to locate their hideout. As he and his sidekick, Cryll, rocket towards the thieves main ship, they purposely ram into it, creating a hole in their foe's spacecraft. The pirates are knocked cold, and the Space Ranger takes them to jail.
