The plot: As we join Moon Rocket 4, it's crew is awakening. The four male astronauts, all equipped with one-syllable names (Kip, Walt, Laird, and Doug) are joined by Helen (every woman in this film have two-syllable names), the navigator (who is in love with Kip and Laird). The men quickly get to work on space-ship stuff, while Helen, played by Marie Windsor (Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy and Salem's Lot) fixes her make-up. Helen, under some sort of possession by the queen of the cat-women, navigates the ship to a valley on the dark-side of the moon. There, as the five explore, they find a cave with breathable air and giant tarantula-type beasts. Helen screams a lot, and the one-syllabled crew kills the spiders. Helen then leads them to an ancient city where they are captured by the love-starved maidens who have never seen men before. Alpha (the leader) reveals that she plans to steal the ship, fly some of the cat-women to Earth to possess Earth-women, and then take over. Alpha is played by Carol Brewster (Untamed Women and A Virgin in Hollywood). All of the cat-women are beautiful and wear tight-black leotards....so a takeover doesn't seem so horrible to us, the audience.
Alpha's plan seems like a sure thing. But wait! Some of the cat-women start falling in love with the men, causing dissension in their ranks. Will true-love save mankind? Will Helen ever decide between Kip and Laird? Will we see a civil-war type cat-fight develop among our love-starved maidens? All these questions will be answered in this 64 minute epic.
This movie is filled with some great one-liners. For example, Walt confesses to a love-starved maiden, "You're too smart for me, baby. I like 'em stupid." The asteroids come at us in 3D. If you have no patience for the dopey "The Polar Express," see "Cat-Women of the Moon."
