- In 1857 Edwin L. Drake is sent to investigate an oil seep in a creek near Titusville, Pennsylvania. After conferring with Dr. Brewer (the land owner) and Joel D. Angier (who devised a method of collecting oil using baffles), Drake reports back to James M. Townsend (Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company, New Haven, Conn.) that it should be feasible to increase the yield beyond the 3 to 6 gallons a day Angier has obtained. Put in charge, and addressed by the courtesy title of "Colonel" by the company, Drake first tries to dig down to the source of the oil and is heckled for his efforts. Water entry causes failure, as it does to Drake's first attempts to drill to the oil with Billy Smith ("Uncle Billy"), an experienced salt driller. Overcoming many other obstacles, Drake's innovation to shield the well from water entry by using a drive pipe finally allows drilling to proceed until striking oil in August, 1859. His perseverance yields many barrels of oil a day, and immediately brings about the start of the oil industry.
- 195426m6.0 (28)TV EpisodeProfessor Newton, a brilliant scientist, has broken all ties with the Federation and taken up residence on the alien world of Ophecius.

- Secretary Drake, accompanied by Rocky and Winky, has gone to Ophecius to try one more time to get Cleolanta to join the United Worlds of the Solar System. She vehemently refuses saying, "I don't need any help!" and gives them one hour to vacate her planet or be destroyed. When Rocky calls refueling Space Station O.W.9 expecting to hear Ranger Andrews' voice, he is puzzled. That's because Vena Ray is disguising her voice as Andrews. She, Bobby and Professor Newton have hitched a ride to the space station to surprise the Orbit Jet on its return. Rocky is distressed because he has just noticed that the gypsy moons of Negato and Posita will encompass O.W.9 in the atmospheric chain that links them. The space station was not built to withstand atmospheric forces. The Orbit Jet has just sufficient time to rush to the station and boost it out of the way. After saving everyone on the space station, Professor Newton reveals that new calculations of the future elliptic orbits of the gypsy moon pair show that they will collide with Ophecius on the 19th of next month. Cleolanta is going to need their help. The Orbit Jet sets down on Posita to let their friends Bavaro and Cotanda know the fate off their moon. Bavaro, a proud new father of a son, refuses to believe what he is told. He swears his son will grow to someday rule Posita.
- Tuck Harmon, with several suitcases full of stolen money, steals a rocket ship and plans to live out his days on his own private moon. After several failed comedic attempts by his sidekick Winky to get a date for the night, Secretary Drake, Head of the Space Rangers, finally gets through and Rocky gets the call to chase Tuck down. When Tuck Harmon sends out a mayday call after his ship is struck by Meteors, it is Rocky to the rescue. After it is revealed that Tuck is superstitious, they touch down on a local moon, Tuck's ultimate destination. There Bobby, Rocky's child friend, makes friends of his own with the local princess and they concoct a way to get Tuck to reveal all. Hijinks ensue and Rocky is able to get Tuck to admit his crimes.
- Rocky is off again, this time to investigate a vague "need aid" message from a space station. It is discovered that radiation poisoning is to blame and the source is Agar of the planet Medina. Agar went to the Forbidden Moon and is the only one to ever survive. He did it with the help of a plant that gives immunity to the moon's "cosmic" radiation. Now Agar, a walking radiation pump, plans to rule the universe with this. Agar will give the immunity to his sister Yarra (he "shares" the rule of Medina with her) and his people and threaten all others with the radiation unless they do as they wish. Will Rocky save the day and the universe?! Short answer: Yes. Vena, Winky, the Professor, and of course Bobby are on board for this mission.
- The Space Ranger's Space Center is plagued with a series of sabotage incidents - the radio system going on the blink, tires of the Secretary's car flattened, sounds of a cat and dog fighting outside their dorm windows. The culprit is Kip, the son of a convicted criminal who is incarcerated at the Ranger's prison. He is acting out in retaliation for his father's woes. Rocky takes on the challenge of showing Kip that he can use his talents as an electronics whiz to gain the respect of the Ranger staff. Instead of punishing him, he takes him on a mission to a planet where Pinto Vortando, an unshaven space rogue, is leading a civil revolt. Rocky shows Kip how Portando is not a hero as a criminal, but a coward. Kip and Bobby save the day when Kip alters an electronic sound box to make it sound like a large fleet of Ranger ships is attacking Portando's headquarters.
- Flying through space, the Orbit Jet encounters foul weather - lightning and thunder. Rocky speculates that they have hit an atmosphere chain that must have formed between two bodies that were close to each other. Vena is tutoring Bobby on board the Orbit Jet. He does well with his mathematics, but is not receptive about reading the poetry she has assigned - The Odyssey. Rocky tells Bobby that Ulysses had great adventures. Shortly after that, an aircraft approaches them and releases a volley of shots. Rocky pulls the rocket back into space where they cannot go. Their radar detects a solid object and they spot a city. They watch the airplane land and approach to check it out. A powerful magnetic field takes over control of their vessel. Once on the ground, they are boarded by Bavaro, ruler of Posita, the moon on which they have landed. Bavaro wants them to carry a bomb to their arch enemies who live on the companion moon Negato. Their plane can't get past their defenses, but the Orbit Jet could. Rocky is unwilling to carry out his demands. Bavaro wants them to abandon their rocket. Their only hope for freedom lies in Bavaro's wife Cotanda who has taken a liking to Vena. As Cotanda leads Vena away for a tour, Rocky and Winkie hide on the ship. They overcome Bavaro's men, take their uniforms, and overcome Bavaro. Everyone meets back at the Orbit Jet to discuss how to escape from Posita.
- 195426m5.6 (26)TV EpisodeRocky is slated to pilot the Orbit Jet to Space Station X-07 carrying Dr. Hillary Tyson and a group of ambassadors to the Interplanetary Peace Conference. Vena Ray pleads with Secretary Drake to let her go. But it was unnecessary as Rocky had already selected her as his navigator. He is also bringing Bobby to help keep the ship's log during the mission. The conference is being held in a neutral zone near the planetoid Paratain in the Jupiter equilateral. Cleolantha has heard about the conference and is resentful that she has not been invited. Her first angry reaction is to have her Space Ranger mole Duveen blow up the Orbit Jet as it launches. Luckily, the electronic detectors at the launch field pick up on the detonator he is trying to set. He is quickly nabbed and carried away in custody. So then Cleolanta sends Atlasande to take control of the X-07 space station after Rocky and his crew head for some R&R on Paratain. Shortly after the Orbit Jet has left the station, Atlasande sends a message to its communications officer that he has a barrage of missiles aimed at them. Unless his ship is immediately brought safely in, he will launch them. The radio officer complies.
- The United Planets are attempting to build an outpost on the planet Casa 7. Cargo ships with contributions from several planets have gone missing. The latest is Earth's ship CM7 carrying Ranger Reggie and Vena Ray. Vena hopes to visit her brother who is working on Casa 7. On their approach to the planet, the pair suddenly find their instruments and rocket propulsion systems neutralized. Shortly thereafter, they are boarded by a rogue ship that confiscates their cargo. The pirate leader is the nefarious Rinkman who uses neutralizing technology developed by Dr. Vanko. After stowing the stolen cargo, the pirates leave CM7 adrift in a permanent orbit around Casa 7. With no means of communication, Vena and Reggie settle in to planning how to stay alive until they are found. Secretary Drake is alarmed when CM7 goes missing and sends Rickie and Winkie out to check on it. Bobby talks Rocky into including him. The Orbit Jet finds an abandoned Martian ship that shoots at them. Then they spot the CM7. Reggie and Vena can't contact them by radio, so they jettison a missile to attract attention. Rocky correctly interprets the sign. He brings the Orbit Jet alongside CM7 and rescues Vena and Reggie.

- Rocky and Winkie take Fornax leader Zorovac to visit Earth. Once there and visiting with Secretary Drake, he sees that Cardos was misleading him about Earth's actions. While they are away, Cardos conspires to send more warhead-equipped missiles to Earth. Griff, whose ship had earlier been disabled by Rocky, manages to radio Cados and have him help his ship land on Ophecius. Cleolantha learns about his mission and talks Darganto into flying to Fornax and exploiting their high-energy crystals for her own use. Bobby catches wind of all these plans, but is nabbed before he can warn Rocky. He is locked up in a cell. But Bobby's playmate, Zorovac's daughter Volaca, climbs to window where she can talk to him. He has her get a radio and let Rocky know the score. Word arrives to the Secretary that another missile is on the way. He has the Orbit Jet intercept it. Then the Orbit Jet heads back to Fornaz where it manages to hit the Ophecian ship with missiles and blow it up before it can take off with Darganto, Cardos and Griff. All three would-be vandals are apprehended and sent for judgments. A firm link of friendship has been established between Fornax and Earth.
- With the Orbit Jet magnetically coupled to the disabled CM7, Rocky brings the rescued Vena and Reggie to Casa 7. Vena's brother Paul is there to greet her. While Paul shows Vena, Bobby and Reggie around, Rocky studies the solar system atlas and deduces that the pirates must be using the planetoid Prah as their base operations base. No ship has ever landed on Prah; there seems to be some sort of defensive barrier. Three ships have tried and were never heard from again. Because the mission may be so dangerous, Rocky and Winkie sneak away in the Orbit Jet before Vena and Bobby wake the next morning. Rocky's plan for slipping past the defensive barrier is to utilize the cold lamp developed by Professor Newton. It will render their rocket invisible so that anyone on Prah will be unaware of their approach. The ploy works. The Orbit Jet lands safely, completely invisible. Rinkman and Dr. Vanko are on the gantry, drawn there by the noise of the landing. Rocky jumps out the door onto the gantry platform, seemingly appearing out of thin air. He is overcome by a pirate who sneaks in from his blind side. Imprisoned in a cave cell, he plots with Winkie to escape. Cleolanta, who is behind the pirate scheme, heads from Ophecius for Prah, hoping to woo Rocky to her side. But before she arrives, Rocky tricks Rinkman who has come to bargain with him. He pretends an invisible Winkie is behind him. Rocky is able to flee to the Orbit Jet and take off before he can be apprehended. He is committed to finding out who is behind the piracy operation.
- Rocky and Winkie return to Casa 7 after escaping from the pirates of Prah. But the radio operator Ken, who arranges for the Orbit Jet to land, is in league with the pirates. He lets Rinkman, Dr. Vanko and Cleolanta know about their return. As Rocky and Winkie greet Vena Ray, Bobby and Paul, Rinkman quickly flies to Casa 7. Ken learns of the cold lamp and turns it on to hide the Orbit Jet in place. Then he and Rickman surprise Rocky and imprison him aboard the Orbit Jet with Haggar Nu, a Martian who also was on to Ken's disloyalty. Rickman's men force Winkie, Vena, Bobby and Paul to board their ship for a flight to Ophecius. Cleolanta is eager to get Rocky there, too, so has his friends taken as hostages. But Rocky knows the Orbit Jet well. He is able to hop to a place where he can slice his bonds off and free Haggar Nu. Rocky is able to overcome Rickman where he learns the rest of his friends are being held on Rickman's ship that is ready to launch. He has to stall a last minute lift-off of the pirate ship because Haggar Nu has put explosives in the rocket tubes. Rocky, with a few punches from a freed Winkie, is able to subdue the pirate team and heads to Earth with them in custody.
- 195426m6.1 (21)TV EpisodeAtlasande and his crew board Space Station X-07 to take Dr. Tyson and his gathering of ambassadors as hostages. Meanwhile, Rocky has landed on Paratain. He calls Tyson to see how things are going. Atlasande realizes he'd better let Tyson speak or Rocky will know things are fishy. Tyson manages to raise Rocky's suspicions anyway by confirming that he will see him in 24 hours, not the 72 hours they had agreed on earlier. After the call, Atlasande loads his hostages on his ship to take them to Ophecius. Rocky calls again to re-check Tyson's time change, but gets no answer. In consultation with Secretary Drake, Rocky realizes that Cleolanta is behind this subterfuge. In the Orbit Jet, the crew flies back to X-07. Of course, no one is there. Cleolanta calls Rocky to inform him that she will trade the ambassadors for her two men that are on trial for espionage, Darganto and Griff. Rocky manages to negotiate the terms of the swap, that it will take place on X-07. He leaves Vena and Bobby there while he and Winky go to Earth to pick up the two accused men. Cleolanta coaches Atlasande to have hidden weapons for the trade event. As the trade occurs, he and his men draw their guns. They are keeping Dr. Tyson as a hostage.
- 195426m6.3 (19)TV EpisodeRocky declares that the Ophecians have violated the exchange agreement in keeping Dr. Tyson as a hostage. Tyson, hearing how things are going, secretly slips a pill into his mouth. The Ophecians lock Rocky and the others in the conference room, sealing it with a 3-hour time-lock. As the Ophecians get set to leave, Darganto tries to reassert his leadership over Atlasande. When Atlasande refuses, Darganto launches an initiative to make Atlansande look bad. He and Griff duck into a mechanical room and shut off the oxygen supply for the station. On the way to the Ophecian ship, Tyson collapses. They think he is dead and leave him behind. Times passes. Soon, everyone in the conference room becomes short of breath. Rocky quickly surmises that the air supply is not working. They will be dead by the time the 3-hour lock opens unless they can get to the control valve. Looking at the vent cover, Rocky forms a plan. He borrows Vena's lipstick tube to use as a screwdriver and then sends Bobby down the duct-works. He is small enough to fit through the 18-inch square opening. At the far end Bobby is stopped by another cover. Winky shouts for him to "use his head" to solve the problem. He does just that - he butts the cover off and restores oxygen flow. He grabs some pliers from a nearby toolbox to force open the time lock. Everyone is distressed to have lost Dr. Tyson. As they carry his body toward their ship, however, he wakes up. He used a suspended animation pill that his lab has been developing. He radios Secretary Drake to award special citations to the Orbit Jet crew, especially Bobby.
