A huge spacecraft is in orbit around the planet Saturn, it launches a craft to one of its moons, Saturn 3 with an experiment on board. Saturn 3 is a small food research base with a modern hydroponic system growing food for an overpopulated planet Earth. The base is maintained by two people Major Adam and his partner Alex.

The experiment is a robot named Hector, the android has a living brain which is reprogrammable by connecting to a socket in the back of the crazy Captain Benson.

A very poor film with very poor space scenes and wobbly spacecraft, it doesn't say much for the special effects profession. It also includes a nude scene with Kirk Douglas which might keep some entertained. The scripting is pretty terrible in my opinion.
