The premise, in the publisher's words
Gilbert is feeling very pleased with himself. A jolly spiffing summer zipping about all over the Earth has left him feeling like a Super Hero. Unfortunately, the rest of the fellow Drillians are not quite as happy. In fact, they are green (and slimy) with envy. Talk, talk, talk. Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Will Gilbert never shut up about his time on Earth? Luckily, even Gilbert has to stop for breath and just as things are getting back to normal a telly-gram (!) arrives from earth to invite Gilbert back to do a new series. That's done it. The Drillians can take no more. They decide that the only way to avoid another winter of Gilbert's bragging is to stop him from getting to the Tune Tees…
