Episode synopsis
Kinda long ago, in a galaxy sorta far away, outer space looks suspiciously like a series of industrial warehouses. Sadly, no railing kills this time out, but you will get plenty of effects sequences directly lifted from Battle Beyond The Stars. This is another entry in the storied history of MST3K movies that have padded their runtime/budget by recycling footage from another film. By the way, did we mention Roger Corman produced this? A boy named Peter stows away on a (space) pirate ship after witnessing the (space) pirates murder about three dozen people. After graciously deciding not to sell him, they embark on a series of adventures (see: footage recycled from Battle Beyond The Stars) where nothing horrible happens to any of the main characters.
