"My God, it's so bleak!"
A salvage expert, William H. Kemp (James Olson), is hired by Clementine (Catherine Schell), who is worried about her missing brother, a miner on the far side of the moon. Unknown to the duo is that a gang have bumped him off, as they plan to hijack an asteroid made of sapphire and bring it down on the unfortunate miners land.
A western set in space, with saloon scenes, bar room brawls and mining claims etc. Unfortunately it lacks the wit or flair to pull it off. Added to which the film doesn't know what it wants to be, a drama or a Saturday matinee serial. On the up side its visually stunning - a kitsch feast of bright colours and futuristic fashions.
