The story revolves around a group of college professors who discover a unique metallic substance they name 'tellecarbon,' which responds to human thoughts and emotions, leading them to create a space ship capable of interplanetary travel. The narrative explores themes of romance, discovery, and the relationship between humanity and technology. The plot follows Bill Halley and his colleagues as they experiment with the properties of tellecarbon, eventually building a space vessel that they use to travel through space. Along the way, they encounter challenges with the tellecarbon, which seems to develop a will of its own and results in a chaotic quest to regain control of their ship. As they navigate the cosmos, the tale introduces elements of comedy and romantic tension, especially with the character Lahoma Rice, who complicates the dynamic between the male leads. Ultimately, the journey culminates in a profound realization about love and companionship, both among the human characters and the sentient piece of tellecarbon, affectionately named "Tillie."
