As the episode begins, Tony, an astronaut based at NASA, is overjoyed to learn that he has been selected to be part of a three-man crew for the first manned lunar expedition. Eager to fulfill his dreams of space travel, Tony eagerly prepares for the monumental journey. However, there's one catch – Tony must remain on Earth's surface while the lunar module orbits the moon due to concerns that his uncontrolled blinking, a tell-tale sign of Jeannie's presence, might jeopardize the mission.

Meanwhile, Jeannie, Tony's enchanting genie, cannot bear to be separated from her beloved master during such a crucial time. Determined to provide her magical assistance while still adhering to the mission's rules, Jeannie concocts a daring plan. Utilizing her powers, she shrinks herself and stows away on board the lunar module, hidden from the prying eyes of Tony and his crewmates.

As the lunar mission gets underway, tensions rise at NASA's mission control center. General Martin Peterson, Tony's commanding officer, grows suspicious when he notices Tony's unusual lack of blinking during the live transmissions from the moon. Realizing that something is amiss, Peterson enlists the help of Dr. Alfred Bellows, the perplexed NASA psychiatrist who has consistently found himself caught up in Jeannie's magical escapades.

Back on the lunar module, Jeannie's appearance sparks a series of unexpected incidents. Her magical powers inadvertently wreak havoc on the spacecraft's delicate systems, causing the astronauts to face numerous challenges and near-disasters. As Jeannie's intentions were well-meaning, Tony's crewmates initially remain oblivious to her presence and the source of their troubles.

Jeannie's ability to solve each problem by using her magical abilities raises suspicion among Tony's crewmates, Major Anthony "Andy" Sands and Astronaut Maurice Evans. They begin to suspect that Tony may have an advantage on the mission, possibly due to top-secret training or advanced technology. The tension between Tony and his crewmates starts to mount, putting the success of the mission in jeopardy.

Back on Earth, General Peterson and Dr. Bellows are closing in on the truth. Driven by curiosity and a determination to expose Tony's alleged secret, they launch a thorough investigation. They soon find themselves entangled in a world of magic, as Jeannie works tirelessly to prevent the truth from being discovered.

With Tony's mission quickly nearing its completion, Jeannie must find a way to undo the chaos she inadvertently caused aboard the lunar module without revealing her true identity. As the final moments of the episode approach, the fate of the mission and Tony's reputation hang in the balance.

Will Jeannie's magical intervention save the day, or will her secret be exposed, jeopardizing both Tony's mission and her own freedom?
