A dying old man gives William "Buck" Rogers a strange glowing box while they are on the planet Janovus XXVI. Hawk and Buck return the container to the Searcher, where it begins to cause hallucinations among the crew.

Buck and the crew must overcome their delusions and stop the ship before they are lost forever.
