Synopsis:
When Earth is threatened by a large meteor, Professor Zackro contacts Captain Comet. However, Comet is too far away from Earth to return in time. Zackro then uses a newly developed Time Hook to bring help from the future.

The Time Hook snares a beautiful girl from 100,000 years in the future. The girl is as advanced as Captain Comet, but before she can act the meteor explodes. Pieces of the meteor known as flame bores then cause damage and fire. The future girl prevents several disasters brought on by the bores. The media makes her a hero and dubs her Miss Universe.

When Captain Comet returns he is suspicious of the girl, though he wonders if he is just jealous. The two heroes then team-up to stop another flame bore which threatens to destroy a forest. They are able to douse the flames, and Captain Comet discovers that the girl is really an advanced form of plant life. She is now having difficulty surviving on Earth, so Captain Comet sends her back to her own time period.
