[edit] Plot
The film is set in a fictitious future, in which space travel is pioneered by roughnecks. The logic of space travel isn't addressed, and most technology was designed for the film to appear as if "it could be repaired with a hammer". Samuel Curtis, an interplanetary trader, is approached by an acqaintance of his, the Blueberry Pirate, with a mission. He is to provide the women of Venus with a new king to mate with. In exchange for this new stud, they will relinquish their currently deceased king, whose family is offering an immense reward for his return. Curtis sets off in search for the perfect replacement, the Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast, but is unaware of the fact that his old nemesis, Professor Hess, is hot on his trail.
