The Venusians had kidnapped Stanley Murdock, shown him around their underground base in the desert of New Mexico and told him of their plans to conquer Earth and makes slave of its populace. And then, having no use for him, released him.
It was the best joke ever according to the Venusian sense of humor, for who would believe him?
"The Vanguard of Venus" was available to readers through an advertisement in "Amazing Stories," September 1928.
