The starship Heart of Gold makes its way to the elusive planet Magrathea, which many believe to be a myth. As the crew attempts to land, they encounter a formidable ancient nuclear missile defense system. Just in time, Arthur activates the Infinite Improbability Drive, transforming the missiles into a bowl of petunias and a bewildered sperm whale, who contemplates existence before crashing down. Meanwhile, deep within the planet, an unseen adversary launches an attack on Trillian, Zaphod, and Ford.
