In the kingdom of Noom on the planet Neptune is the evil scientist known as Droon. In order to gain control of the Valley of Ojah, Droon uses Queen Haba’s feelings for the hero Spacehawk to strike a bargain with her — he will get Spacehawk to come to Neptune and show his love for her if she deeds him the barren valley. He tortures his assistant Jod to the point of a murderous rage, and amplifying those thoughts across space, brings Spacehawk, who feels these emotions emanating from the planet, to him. When the hero enters Droon’s lab, he uses hypnosis to control him. The queen arrives. Spacehawk professes his feelings for her. Droon impatiently requests the deed for the valley of Ojah, but Spacehawk confesses his ruse. Unfazed by the villains hypnosis, he only sought to uncover Droon’s true intentions, to use the minerals in the valley to attack Earth. The two fight. Droon is knocked to the floor. He escapes to another room and grabs a “fire gun”. From the top of a tower, the villain shoots at the Queen and Spacehawk. Unknown to him, and still angry from being tortured, Jod attacks him, and they both fall from the tower to the jagged rocks hundreds of feet below. Droon is an advanced scientist able to create fantastic inventions and devices. He has also demonstrated a level of hypnotic ability, being able to entrance an individual through eye-to-eye contact.
