He is mistakened for a wanted criminal, imprisoned, and sentenced to death. But a scientist intervenes on his behalf and offers him to fly an atomic rocket to the moon. But the rocket lands in southern Mexico, and Keaton thinks he has landed on the moon. The natives think he has gone insane, but everything is straightened out in the end.
