Cap Hanson bursts into the radio turret grinning ear to there with a surprise for the gloomy, hectored Sparks, for the gangling genius Lancelot Biggs has just come back aboard the Saturn.

Nelson S. Bond's 1942 story is a delightful space-opera comedy, a Lancelot Biggs tale. Fun, witty, charming. Read it for the welcome return of the beloved genius Lancelot Biggs, whose brilliant, screwball schemes turn the Saturn upside down once more, narrated by his exasperated, wisecracking pal Sparks, in classic golden-age humorous SF.
