While traveling to the Bakda speeder races, Thall, Jord, Kea, C3PO, and R2D2 are forced to make a detour to the planet Annoo to pick up a hyperdrive unit after their ship's unit is lost due to Threepio's incompetence. Living on Annoo is Kea's mother whom they visit as well as Tig Fromme's father Sise Fromme, the notorious gang master. Sise learns of Thall and Jord's eminent arrival and prepares to deal with them. On Annoo, the droids discover a secret rebel base deep inside Kea's mother's house, linking her with the rebel alliance. That night a droid, sent by Sise and Tig Fromme, attacks Thall, but Kea saves him by destroying it. Kea's mother than explains to Thall and Jord that Tig Fromme is building the Trigon 1, a powerful weapon satellite, and he was trying to destroy Thall because he and Jord knows of its location, which Sise wants to keep secret.

On Ingo, Thall and R2D2 go to hide the Trigon 1 from Sise Fromme and his gang, leaving Kea and C3PO at a speeder shop. A band of Sise Fromme's clone soldiers ambush Kea and Threepio, while Thall and Artoo are away. They return from hiding it, however, in time to save them from the ambush, and the four speed away from the clones in the White Witch. The clones jump into their speeders and chase them into a trap they prepared. The captured heros are brought to Tig Fromme's stronghold where he interrogates them, demanding to know the location of the Trigon 1. Tig also reveals that he has captured Jord and Kea's mother as well, and that they will not be freed unless he learns of the location of the Trigon. Thall then demands to speak with Tig's father, Sise Fromme. Thall tells Sise the location, though he withholds the fact that he and Artoo rigged it to collide with Fromme's stronghold, thus destroying it. Sise sends Tig to retrieve it on Ingo, and, instead of freeing Jord and Kea's mother

Upon landing C-3PO and R2-D2 meet PROTO-1, an old service droid, who informs them the group he'll repair their ship for them while they go in the races. Threepio, however, does not trust him. Elsewhere, the Fromms have landed on the same planet and Sise has acquired the help of the notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett, to capture the group who destroyed his base and his expensive weapon - the Trigon One. Meanwhile, Jord - who was injured during the landing - finds himself unable to drive the ""White Witch"" in the race due to a broken arm, therefore Thall will have to compete.
