SYN: Space travelers Moe, Larry and Joe are grateful to have traveled with Professor Jones to the planet Sunev, where priceless gems, fine foods, and hot blondes are in unlimited supply. But the planets leader, the Grand Zilch of Sunev, is engaged in a shocking set of experiments designed to created an army of killer zombies, and he intends to waste little time disposing of the meddlesome visitors before continuing with his deadly plan. The Sunevians, however, have never dealt with Stoogian war tactics, and soon succomb to the kind of frenetic confusion that works so well for the Stooges on Earth.

Quick Hits:

- Space Ship Sappy, Outer Space Jitters and Flying Saucer Daffy were all heavily influenced by the "Sci-Fi" explosion sweeping television in the late 50's.

- Watch for a hilarious key gag where the Stooges are Bewitched by three shapely aliens from the planet Sunev who look like they love to kiss. The Stooges turn on their charm and pucker up to the fembots to find that these ladies are electro-charged to the max! Larry finds out after a fiery kiss from one of the lovely bolt-heads that a whole pocketful of un-popped popcorn has now been transformed into mounds of fluffy white ready-to-eat kernals.
