Chapter One - The Planet of Peril


Mongo is heading for Earth - Flash's plane crashes and he and Dale Arden (who he met on the flight) bale out...right into Zarkov's compound. Zarkov goes, "Hey! Let's save the earth!" and Flash goes, "Yeah, alright". (Incidentally, he's the polo-playing son of a professor in the series).

Chapter One really goes all out - you get Giant Beasts (Iguanas) as soon as they land; Flash fights three "sub-human monkey men" (one of whom is the Psycho Sailor from one of the Harold Lloyd movies), Ming's daughter (Aura) throws herself at him, Ming puts the moves on Dale and then Flash and Aura fall into The Pit Of The Beasts.
