The planet Medusa was once a women-run paradise - but then a meteor hit and threw Medusa out of its orbit around its sun. From then on, Medusa drifted through space aimlessly, slowly frreezing over and forcing its inhabitants underground, and only eventually, it reached earth's solar system.

By now, Medusa has turned into a totalitarian world, controlled by women who have made all men their slaves to take care of all manual labour and serve as sex toys ... and the female rulers of the planet even think their men love them for it.

Adam (Pierre Brice), the personal slave of councellor Fulvia (Judy Geeson), who is very high up in the planet's ruling class, has plotted escape long ago, and now with earth in arm's reach, so to speak, he persuades his friend, technician Shem (Gareth Thomas), to steal Fulvia's private ship and make an escape to what they think is paradise. Of course, Adam and Shem have little idea of how to steer a spaceship, and approach earth in way too accelerated speed - and they dare not slow down either because chancellor Octavia (Christiane Krüger) and Fulvia are in hot pursuit. Then though they get the entry data into earth's atmosphere from a team of scientists led by professor Evans (Derek Farr) ... but still crash onto the planet - which breaks the heart of Fulvia, who actually was in love with her slave, and destroys the high hopes of Rudi's team of scientists.

Only inm the last shot do we see that Adam and Shem have somehow survived the crash ...

 

Naive 1970's science fiction television show that's way too blunt in delivering its message to actually be taken seriously - buit that's part of the fun of this show, coupled with some great miniature effects (the destruction of Medusa, the space chase) and these irresistible 1970's pop art pseudo futuristic sets and costumes. Somehow you just got to love it, right?
