The Belzarian Pigmy Soldiers serve the Empress of Belzar as a fighting force. Lieutenant April Wing argues with Captain Brett Crockett that she should be on the front lines attending to the wounded Space Busters. The battle cuts the argument short, leaving April at the field station. Crockett and Sergeant Bolo begin using flame-throwers to fight an assault of Belzarian tanks. When this is ineffectual against the vehicles, they turn on the Pigmy Soldiers and drive them away. April Wing tries to resist, but one of the Pigmy Soldiers named Lomax captures her. The Pigmy Soldiers take April to the Empress. The Empress doesn’t want her, and Senstral wants her shot immediately. The Pigmys ask to take April as a blood sacrifice to their god Wardo. The Empress wishes to attend the ceremony with Senstral. Captain Crockett searches furiously for April, running across a contingent of Martian Partisans. The Martian Partisans fight for a Mars free from the Belzarian conquerors. They agree to help Crockett in the search when another of their group arrives. He describes a gathering of the Dwarfs of Belzar in the “rock ampitheater” where they are preparing to sacrifice April. Brett and the partisans arrive in time to stop the sacrifice. Standing with the Empress, Senstral holds a weapon on Brett. Brett and April escape, shooting Senstral.
