"A sudden epidemic on Pluto threatened to destroy the Earth colonists unless medical aid arrived. Rocketships were too slow; this was a job for two Torch Pilots who were expendable."

This short story was eventually collected in Menace from Earth in 1953. A torchship pilot takes off from Earth orbit to Pluto on a mission to deliver a cure to a plague ravaging a research station.
