In the Nevada Desert (or its Italian equivalent), road warrior Parsifal (Michael Sopkiw) literally defies death in a vehicular gladiatorial contest, bringing him to the attention of Pan-Am president Edmund Purdom, whos clearly seen Escape From New York because he wants Sopkiw to go on a search-and-rescue mission. With the population rendered sterile courtesy of radiation, there hasnt been a child born in fifteen years, but Purdoms computer has thrown out the name of the worlds last fertile woman located somewhere in (you guessed it) New York City. If shes young enough, Purdom reasons, her ovaries may contain as many as five hundred unfertilized eggs: Thats five hundred uncontaminated human beings! Even though Sopkiw prefers to work alone, hes partnered by a claw-handed ex-schoolteacher and Robowars Romano Puppo, cast here as an eyepatch-wearing muscleman who may not be all that he appears. Along the way they encounter a succession of colourful supporting characters, including a sadistic villain who knows ways of making you talk, a dwarf named Shorty and Big Ape (George Eastman), whos either a man/ape hybrid or an ugly sumbitch. Despite an unfortunate resemblance to Bela Lugosis Ape Man, Eastman just happens to be the Worlds last fertile man with an unwholesome interest in the last fertile woman, who he finds hibernating in a Perspex tube clad in transparent clothing. If that seems a tad unlikely, bear in mind that director Sergio Martinos next sci-fi flick was Hands Of Steel, the greatest arm-wrestling cyborg movie ever.
