The crew of Starship Hummingbird are doing everything they can to make contact with the unidentified flying object. Will they be successful?

Now things are getting serious: The crew is getting ready to launch, and the two young pilots are eager to go along for the ride. Will they be able to persuade their fathers to let them?

The new recruits of the Milky Way security force arrive for training. Pierrette is worried about Fat Nose's threatening behavior. Meanwhile, the UFO enters the ship's observation space. This calls for immediate action!

The representatives of the confederation, chaired by the President, are now to vote on how to deal with the unknown flying object. There is no consensus at all!

An unknown flying object appears on the radar. Pierre, Pierrette, and Maestro discuss where it might come from and whether it might be hostile.

This is an animated version of the tragic poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, set to music in the 19th century by composer Franz Schubert.
