In 1987, NASA launches Buck Rogers into space for a trip around the solar system. His craft is knocked off course into a long solar orbit and he is frozen. It returns near Earth in 2491 and is picked up by Draconians who are planning to strike at Earth. Princess Ardala and Kane revive Buck Rogers and trick him into returning to Earth with a hidden tracker to record the path through Earth's defence shield. When the device is found, Buck Roger's is put on trial, but what can you say, the man has 20th century charm. He returns to the Draconians to clear himself and manages to thwart their impending attack.
