An alien ruler abducts an ordinary married couple and accidentally gives Earth its least likely rescuers. The creatures and brightly absurd world are intentional comic invention; the straight-faced cast makes the planetary idiocy an agreeable family-adventure curio.

Synopsis and movie facts
Emperor Spengo sees Marge Nelson and using a giant magnet, kidnaps her and her husband Dick, hoping to make Marge his before blowing up the Earth. The Emperor and other inhabitants of his planet are somewhat less than bright, and Dick begins reliving episodes of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in order to rescue Marge, save the Earth, and restore the rightful emperor to the throne.
