Space Ace is on the trail of some space robbers, who are shooting down cargo planes over Mars. It seems that whenever cargo liners flew over the area where the robots were, their photoelectric cells were activated and the robots went on the attack. Space Ace discovers a now deceased "Keeper of the Sands", whose job it was to keep the robots in check, had passed away, but his control panel was still active.
