A group of youthful, English-speaking ‘Martians’ (named Thor, Moreal, Saul and Derek) arrive in Bronson Canyon in a flying saucepan lid to use Earth as a breeding ground for their Gargon herd, which resemble lobster puppets shown in silhouette.

You know you’re in Mystery Science Theatre 3000 territory when the Martians wear jumpsuits with masking tape trim and are equipped with dime-store cap guns that turn their targets into laboratory skeletons with serial numbers stamped on the hip.

Weird footnote: the director later underwent a nervous breakdown and changed his name to Jesus Christ II.
