Captain King and his crew were lost in space and landed on an unknown planet. They found a huge cave with furniture and while they were exploring it, the owner, Gork, came home. Gork was a one-eyed monster. Gork wanted to kill the strangers because that was the tradition in the valley. The men were trapped in a big cage and their weapons were taken away. Captain King tried to reason with Gork but failed. Captain King thought of a plan and the name “nobody” was part of the plan. Captain King blinded Gork with the laser. And he tricked Gork into opening the cave door. Finally, Captain King and his men hid in kangaroos’ pockets and escaped.
