The stories in this so-called space opera feature the inhabitants of the lush and peaceful planet named Mqueie, that one day gets an unexpected visit by a battered starship commanded by an injured lensman. One of the citizens, Kim, obtains the lens on the commander's hand which has enormous powers and energy.
