Queen of Outer Space

In 1985, Captain Neal Patterson and his two lieutenants, Lt. Mike Cruze and Lt. Larry Turner, are assigned to escort Professor Konrad to an Earth space station. The mission is presented as a routine transport, and the crew begins the journey with professional resolve. They are unaware of the danger that awaits them.

While en route, the space station is destroyed by a mysterious interstellar energy beam, and Patterson's rocket is damaged, forcing a crash landing on Venus. The crew survives the crash but is stranded on a planet they never expected to reach.

The four men are captured by an army of aggressive, beautiful women and brought before the Venusian governing council. They learn that Venus is ruled by the cruel Queen Yllana, a masked woman who has killed most men and keeps only male scientists on a prison moon orbiting Venus.

In a detainment area of the queen's palace, Konrad explains that the energy beam may have originated from Venus. The possibility links the disaster to their host planet and raises uneasy questions about their fate.

The men are aided by Talleah, a beautiful courtier, along with her Venusian friends Motiya and Kaeel. They reveal a plan by the Venusian women to overthrow Queen Yllana and restore the old order.

Yllana brings Patterson to her bedchamber and seduces him. He forcibly removes her mask, discovering a disfigured face from a war with another planet ten Earth years earlier.

In a fury, the queen decides to destroy Earth to protect her world and preserve her power. She activates the energy disintegrator as guards stand nearby, threatening planetary annihilation.

Talleah and the rebel allies spring from hiding and attack. The disintegrator, sabotaged by the rebels, malfunctions and explodes, killing Queen Yllana.

Talleah becomes the new leader of Venus and turns her romantic intentions toward Patterson. This marks the start of a new political and personal alliance on Venus.

At a ceremony, it is announced that Patterson's rocketship has been repaired and that he and his crew can return to Earth. The Venusian technicians have also repaired an electronic televiewer that can contact Space Command on Earth.

Patterson is ordered not to attempt a return and to remain on Venus for at least a year until a relief expedition can arrive. The order signals a prolonged stay and a shift in responsibility for Earth’s outreach.

The crew are elated to follow orders and celebrate with the Venusians, sharing hugs and passionate kisses as they look toward a hopeful future on Venus. The moment seals a new social and romantic alliance on the planet.
