Synopsis for "The Mystery that Couldn't Be Solved!"
Scientists send up monkeys into space twice and both times the rocket comes back empty. The scientists draw the erroneous conclusion that space disintegrates physiological matter and give up on space travel, but what actually happened was that the monkeys were taken prisoner by hostile aliens who plan to invade until they realize the monkeys are of limited intelligence. If such creatures could build and pilot a rocket, they reason, the Earth men must have many advanced weapons and so they call off the invasion.
