The story opens as a fictional chemical element called nitron is vanishing from the Terrestrial atmosphere, causing hurricanes and other meteorological disasters; whereupon Flash and Zarkov discover that a ray-beam from Mars is the source of the nitron depletion. A comical newspaper journalist, Happy Hapgood, stows away when they and Dale Arden investigate in Zarkov's rocket ship. Later, they discover that Azura, Queen of Mars, is working with Ming the Merciless to conquer Earth, while all Martians who oppose her have become changed into clay humanoids, consigned to live in a world of clay-walled caverns beneath the Martian soil. Flash, Zarkov, Dale, and Happy take refuge in one of these caverns and coöperate with the Clay King to destroy the Nitron Lamp draining the Earth's atmosphere, restore the Clay People to their human form, and defeat Ming.
