When an atomic war on Mars destroys the planet's women, it's up to Martian Princess Marcuzan and her right-hand man Dr. Nadir to travel to earth and kidnap women for new breeding stock. Landing in Puerto Rico, they shoot down a NASA space capsule manned by an android. With his electronic brain damaged, the android terrorizes the island while the Martians raid beaches and pool parties

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
James Karen, who plays Dr. Steele, later became famous as the 'Time to make the donuts' guy and had a 50+ year career including Poltergeist and Return of the Living Dead.
The film's Puerto Rico setting wasn't exoticism—it was tax breaks and cheap labor, making this an accidental document of American exploitation cinema literally exploiting American territory.
