C-3PO and R2-D2 have been dumped by their smuggler master on the desert planet of Ingo. As luck would have it, they meet the racing team of Thall Joben & Jord Dusat, who are desperate to find an Astomech droid to use as in their 'White Witch' speeder. Unfortunately, the racers get too close to Tig Fromm's secret base and are set upon by the infamous gang leader's son private army of war-droids. Unexpected help comes from the female freedom fighter Kea Moll.

Thall Joben, Kea Moll and the droids are captured by the Fromm gang on Ingo, but Thall will only tell where he and Artoo have hidden the Trigon One weapon satellite to gang leader Sise Fromm himself. They are taken to the Fromm hideout on Annoo, where Jord Dusat and Demma Moll are already being held captive.
