Adam is transported to Rann where he's nearly zapped by the thunderbolts of Jupiter. Fleeing, he and Alanna are attacked by Apollo in his flying chariot. They evade Apollo, and Alanna tells Adam how Jupiter, Apollo, and Hercules recently arrived on Rann, thinking it was their planet Olympia, conquered while they were away. Adam challenges the trio to individual duels. Defeated by Adam, and with calmer heads, the trio realize that their navigation system was fouled up just as their ship heads back into space without them. Adam helps the trio catch up to their ship before he returns home.

Ted Larkin had three goals growing up: he wanted to be first to land on Mars, the first to fly through the sun, and the first to circumnavigate the universe. But hard work only let him watch Edwin Blake, Stanley Adams, and Frederick Tomkins attain his goals. Disillusioned, Ted is mulling his future when he finds a piece of metal with time travel properties and decides to go back in time and beat the other three men to their goals.
