Synopsis:
Space travel is being held up by one big problem: living creatures can't seem to survive the rapid acceleration required for takeoff. Then, they hit upon the idea of "quick-freezing" astronauts and thawing them out once they're underway. As the first mission approaches, the commander of the mission, Lon, plans to bring his mistress, Edith, with him by freezing her and hiding her on the ship prior to takeoff. The plan works and, as the ship flies through space, Lon pulls frozen, brittle Edith from her hiding place and begins to carry her to the "thawer". Then, he trips and drops her. Big mess.
