Time and again, spaceships disappear on the way to Terra 2, and always in the vicinity of the planet Grauentus, which is considered uninhabited. This is not so true, as the spectator soon finds out, because there is an alien stranded with a waterhead, who likes to shoot down spaceships with his “eliminator” and feed the separately beamed crew to the exclusively zombie population of the planet. At the space headquarters in Aachen, they know nothing about all this, but want to find out the reason for the missing spaceships and begin to train a team for an expedition. The journalist Jutta smuggles herself into this team, but she only wants to go to Terra 2 to reconcile with her ex-boyfriend Norman who is stationed there.
