Synopsis:
When Space Ranger attempts to stop a thief from stealing a rare jewel from a science lab, an accident causes Space Ranger and the thief to gain half each other's bodies. The thief, Julab Raku, is telepathic and is able to control Space Ranger through his half of Space Ranger's body. Unable to resist the commands, Space Ranger begins a string of robberies. When authorities threaten to shoot Space Ranger, Raku is on hand to prevent it, as Space Ranger possesses half of his body. Space Ranger tricks Raku by shielding his mind from telepathy. Then Space Ranger apprehends Raku, and returns to the lab where both bodies are restored to normal.
