Jupiter owns and operates a business providing a variety of services, including "stuff delivered, errands run, star gazed, vacuum bottles filled (with vacuum)". Jumpin' Jupiter is called upon by Rupe Gloop of the Sloopgoop Soup Company utilizing "Earth's most powerful transmitter". Jumpin' Jupiter receives the signal with his "magnetic ears" on his personal wavelength. Rupe wants Jumpin' Jupiter to look for an interplanetary market for the company's soup, as it is suffering from lackluster sales on Earth. Jumpin' Jupiter agrees, and tunes his magnetic ears to Mercury's magnetic field. This results in his being "yanked" to Mercury in, as Jupiter puts it, "nothing flat!" On Mercury, he visits a Mercurian friend of his who owns a grocery store. The Mercurian explains the numerous volcanoes of Mercury all spout soup, meaning there is no interest in the Sloopgoop Soup. Jumpin' Jupiter goes to Mars to talk to the Martian Food Commissioner, where the Martians love soup. Unfortunately, soup is outlawed on Mars. Undaunted, Jupiter goes to the moon. He visits with the Lunar Viceroy of Vittles, who tells him that they don't eat soup, and eat things like stewed golf balls and cheese instead. The Viceroy says he'd like to go to Earth to check out the soup at any rate. Jupiter suspects the Viceroy just wants a free ride to Earth, but takes him on his back anyway. The Viceroy of Vittles tries the soup in his hair. The soup works excellently to keep his bristly hair down. The people of the Moon have sought for a long time for just such a product, and the Viceroy of Vittles orders a "million cases" to be shipped to the Moon at once by the Sloopgoop Soup Company. Jumpin' Jupiter is paid in crates of soup cans, which crowd his home asteroid. "I got my pay for that deal," Jumpin' Jupiter states, "but it will take me 2000 years to use it up!"
- That night Porky and Sylvester are relaxing camping in the Desert. Sylvester suddenly hears a howl that scares him and Porky proceeds to point out it is a harmless coyote, forcing to go to sleep outside while Porky himself sleeps in his tent. Suddenly, a tall, bird-shaped alien from the planet Jupiter arrives on Earth, with his mission being to collect some earthlings for an experiment. Sylvester is scared by the alien and tries to warn Porky, but this only makes Porky angry and causing him to boot Sylvester back outside. Eventually, Sylvester manages to show Porky of the alien who has arrived in their tent, but Porky mistakes the alien for a Navajo Native American and tells him to go back in his 'wigwum', on the supposed pretense he will look at his goods in the morning. Confused, the alien goes back to his flying saucer and drill into the rock to rise up from underneath the campsite and take it back to his home planet. After some more confusion and chaos as Sylvester freaks out and realizes they are leaving Earth, which Porky is completely unaware of and blissfully ignores, they eventually are released from the saucer's top as they leave the gravity field of Earth. Sylvester is utterly panicking and praying at this point, but fortunately they land on an alien world and safely wake up to leave, unaware that they are being observed by a pair of giant bird-like aliens who probably have a nasty surprise planned for them as the cartoon irises out.
