During an astronomy conference, a researcher decides to go on a trip to the moon with some of his trusted colleagues. Scientists go to a laboratory to check the completion of their spacecraft, then they go up to the top floor, where a cannon is placed, to be launched into space. The journey begins, the moon’s face seems to be getting closer and the spaceship ends up in one of its eyes. Astronomers leave the spaceship and begin their exploration, then they stop to rest, but it starts to snow so they are forced to leave. The explorers shelter in a lunar crater, but a group of aliens takes them prisoner and brings them before the moon king. Scientists attack the king and are forced to flee chased by aliens: they reach the ship, manage to throw it into the void, and reach the Earth, then they land in the sea and are saved by a boat.
