Twenty five years after the first Mission to the Moon, Jah-Jah
Soul is anxious to return. He is pleased when Ambrozine who led
the first mission returns to make up another crew for the return
trip. This time she has transformed herself into Iris H. Linen
and is pulling style more than ever, to the disgust of her old
friend Miss Corpie.
Miss Corpie is not enthusiastice about a return visit to the lunar
landscape. She would rather stay home and bake pudden and live
quietly in her village where the residents include the basketball
trio of Jump Shot, Slam Dunk and Three Pointer. They would like
to go to the Moon if only to test Gravity. Despite setbacks, Moonsplash
Two does take off for the return to the Moon, carrying on board
a stowaway, the strange creature know to one and all as Loona
Moona. With Lt. Max at the controls and his fiancé Diana,
who is Miss Linens personal assistant at his side, Moonsplash
Two is piloted into the sky to land eventually on the Moon.
Soon after their arrival the trouble begins. Moon King and Moon
King Wife are not too happy to see Earth People whose presence
always brings problems. By the time Moon King is ready to deport
the earth people, Miss Corpie comes to the rescue and sves the
day with her special skills. The Mission returns to earth
and Moon King and his people hope they will stay so that hey can
get on with their lunar lives.
