A change from the show's usual time travel stories
The odd behavior of a flying saucer lures Captain Z-ro (Roy Steffens), Jet (Bruce Haynes) and Tetro (Jack Cahill) to the moon, where aliens make the captain an offer they think he can't refuse. By the mid-1950s, numerous aliens had contacted humans for non-malevolent
reasons (starting with Klaatu in 1951's 'The Day the Earth Stood Still') but this episode of the archaic but quaint sci-fi show is reasonably imaginative. The production's limited budget is obvious but the old teleplay is entertaining, and like many of the sci-fi shows of the time, interesting as examples of how the media both created and reflected America's attitudes towards science and technology, especially rocketry and space travel. It was likely not
lost on some viewers that what the aliens had in mind was not unlike the American strategy to attract European 'rocket scientists' like Werner von Braun at the end of WW2.
