On what is ostensibly the first trip made to the moon, an exploration team discovers that someone else had got there first, back in 1899. Back on earth, the sole survivor of that trip, Arnold Bedford, is tracked down. Arnold tells in flashback how he, his girlfriend Katherine and inventor Joseph Cavor had flown to the moon in a gravity-deflecting sphere. There, they encounter grotesque bipedal ant-like creatures, the Selenties, who live in immense crystal caverns, but who are far from friendly to the three human intruders.
