Elaine (Julie Hagerty) is now his ex-girlfriend and one of the pilots for the new lunar transports that is taking passengers to the moon.  Ted had been its test pilot and knows the lunar transport has a serious defect so he breaks out of the institution and gets on the flight just before takeoff.

The flight’s on-board computer system, ROC, resets their course for the sun.  With the lives of the passenger in danger, the other pilots try to disable ROC but he incapacitates all of them leaving Elaine to pilot the ship. She enlists Ted for help and they rekindle their romance. Scraps the dog intercepts a bomb that a passenger (Sonny Bono) carried on board and they use the bomb to blow up ROC.
