Synopsis:
Each member of the Star Rovers becomes a recipient of the Space-Hero Medal. Though they are proud of the award, none of them understand what they did to deserve it. They relate their tales of recent adventures to one another and discover that each has inadvertantly prevented an alien threat against the Earth. Using tactics of their fellow Star Rovers each member was successful, so they exchange medals, giving theirs to the member whose methods helped them succeed.
