In a zany twist of fate, Abbott and Costello land jobs with a Martian patrol after answering a bizarre ad, only to find themselves accidentally flying to Mars and crash-landing in the swamps. As they navigate alien landscapes and bumbling encounters with a flamboyant alien named Astra and her malfunctioning robots, they stumble into a scheme involving a secret weapon and a fleet of Jupiterian invaders—though their biggest challenge might just be staying out of their own way.
