All language subtitles for Cat-Women of the Moon (1953)eng

The eternal wonders...
of space and time.

The far away dreams and
mysteries of other worlds...

Other life.

The stars, the planets.

Man has been face to
face with them for centuries,

yet is barely able to penetrate
their unknown secrets.

Some time,

some day,

the barrier will be pierced.

Why must we wait?

Why not now?

White Sands calling
Moon Rocket Four

code 63,

can you hear us?

White Sands calling
Moon Rocket Four code 63.

Can you hear us?

White Sands calling
Moon Rocket Four code 63.

Can you show any
sign of recognition?

White Sands to Rocket
Four code 63, come in!

White Sands calling
Moon Rocket Four code 63.

Can you hear us?

White Sands calling
Moon Rocket Four code 63.

Can you show any
sign of recognition?

White Sands calling
Moon Rocket Four code 63.

Can you show any
sign of recognition?

Well.

What do you know?

Telephone, Commander,
shall I say you're out?

Help the others.

All right, you sleeping
beauties, hit the deck.

Every man a tiger, let's go.

- You all right, Helen?
- Sure, Kip, thanks.

In space.

We made it.

Oh brother,

am I gonna collect some bets.

White Sands to Moon
Rocket Four code 63, come in.

Tell him there's no one
here but us space people.

Not yet, first I want
your initial reports.

Remember, this is
a scientific expedition

and not a stunt!

- Are we on course, Helen?
- On course.

- Are you sure?
- Quite.

You know, Laird, I have
the strangest feeling,

as though all this
has happened before.

White Sands to Moon Rocket Four

code 63, come in!

Rocket Four to White Sands.

Grainger speaking,
can you hear me?

Can we hear you?
Come in!

We have passed
the 2,000 mile level,

are traveling in space.

Speed, seven miles a second.

Motor smooth, fuel
consumption .865.

Temperature density of
atom chamber, unchanged.

Nitrate pictate acid secure.

We will report again
at 1400, over and out.

Wait a minute, Commander.

There's a world full
of people listening in.

Are you all right, could we
have a few words from the crew?

- No!
- Oh, come on, Laird,

don't be stuffy.

All right, speak from
your stations, but be brief!

Rocket Four to
White Sands, stand by.

The next voice you hear
will be Kip Reissner, Co-Pilot.

All I gotta say is watch
out for that first step,

it's a pip.

Helen Salinger, Navigator.

Hello, Alpha, we're on our way.

This is Doug Smith,
Radio Operator.

I'm gonna bring you a piece
of that green cheese for sure.

Walt Walters, Engineer.

We're humming along, folks.

That new lubrication by
the Delphi Oil Company,

sure turned the trick.

Over to you, White Sands.

That plug ought to make
a couple of grand, huh?

- Over and out.
- Hold on, Rocket Four code 63,

we wanna switch you over

to Washington and
General Rayburn.

Members of Atomic
Rocket Crew Four,

our congratulations on your
magnificent achievement.

You have embarked on a space
journey of over 200,000 miles.

At 25,000 miles per hour,

you have 10 hours
flight ahead of you.

The scientific ingenuity that
made this flight possible...

- Got any gum?
- Shh.

There must now
be added, your skill,

your courage, and our prayers.

Weight balance to right.

Something's embedded
in our rear section.

The atomic chamber!

Heat radiation going up fast!

Must be a meteor.
Can we shake it?

Maybe centrifugal
force will dislodge it!

'Til then we're circling.

- We've dumped it.
- Nice work, Laird.

If we'd been paying
more attention to our work,

this might not have happened.

Doug, didn't the meteor
appear in the view screen?

I don't know, sir,
I was listening to...

Exactly!

Well, for the rest
of this journey

we operate strictly by the book.

The planners of this expedition

have foreseen all contingencies.

- We hope.
- We do more than hope!

We work with confidence!

Now then, Helen, will
you set us on course?

- Yes, sir.
- Doug.

Tune in White Sands.

I'm trying, sir,
but there's no pip,

I'm afraid I'm out of business.

Commander, the atom
chamber, the nitric acid.

One of the containers
must've broken.

If the acid reaches the fuel
chamber, we'll explode, won't we?

Turn on the water
line, that'll neutralize it.

- Nothing happened, sir.
- Pour it on!

- It won't work, sir.
- It's got to work!

- What are you doing?
- I wanna check

that obstruction
on the water line.

The acid'll burn through
that suit in one minute flat!

I'll just need 59
seconds, I hope.

Come back here!

Kip!

He's done it,
it's under control.

Every man a tiger, let's go.

Well, I guess I'm
not out of business.

You must have
skin like a rhinoceros,

- it didn't even blister.
- We can't all be beautiful.

Is Laird sore?

After all, I did
go over his head.

Well, he gave us another
lecture on discipline.

He's right, you know, Kip.

We came only this far
because we did it by the book.

Some things aren't in the book.

- I'm okay, go and talk to Laird.
- Huh?

Go on, after all,
you're his girl.

For the duration of this trip,

the only relation I have
with Laird is a scientific one.

This is no time to
pamper with the emotion.

I bet you got that from him.

- It's true.
- It's hooey.

You can't turn love
on and off like a faucet.

Believe me, baby, if I
ever fell in love with you,

I'd chase you across the
world, 'round the Moon and

all the way-stations in between.

Go on, beat it.

All right, hero,
I'll go talk to Laird.

But if you don't mind, it'll
only be about our landing.

You two make a great team.

Strong mind and strong back.

I suppose so.

View screen should
be okay now, sir.

Thanks, Doug!

Helen, who is Alpha?

Alpha?

On the radio, you said,
"Alpha, we're on our way."

I don't remember saying that.

Probably just a touch
of space madness.

You know, there's one school of
thought that said we'd all go insane.

Alpha.

You better pick your
landing spot and start figuring.

I already have, we're on course.

That's what I call a navigator!

It's a valley on the
dark side of the Moon.

The dark side?

How could you possibly know
anything about the dark side?

All man has ever
seen is the bright side.

Well the bright side cuts
across part of this valley,

you can just barely see
it on the photographs.

Well, why there?

We'd planned to
study the bright side

and then circle
to the dark side.

Please, Laird, this is
a perfect landing place,

believe me, I don't
know why I know it but,

I know it for sure.

You're the navigator.

We'll take a look at it, anyway.

Please take your stations,
please, we're coming in.

- Start the retarders, Walt.
- Yes, sir.

Retarders off, stabilizers on.

Unbuckle now.

Mighty pickings, Helen.

I knew it was the right place.

Someday I'm gonna ask you how.

What do we do first, Laird?

Wanna check the ship,
do a repair job if necessary?

Well, let's make some findings,

we're on the Moon,
not in a machine shop.

I'll go along
with Helen on that.

We'll make a short
exploratory tour, come back,

grab some sleep and
then we'll look the ship over.

Okay, but I'd feel a
lot better if I was sure

we're ready to take off
at a moment's notice.

Why?

It's my Navy background.

In any engagement, be
prepared to disengage.

Well this isn't the Navy.

Come on, Doug,
help me into my suit.

These shoes are heavy!

You won't notice it
when you get outside.

I want everybody to check
everybody else's equipment.

It must be set number two,

because of the absolute
cold in the dark side.

And when you get out there,
remember, stay on the dark side!

Without any oxygen, what can you

possibly want with cigarettes?

I feel more at
home carrying them.

About as silly as that gun, Kip.

You know there's
no life on the Moon.

I guess I'm like Helen,

I feel more at home that way.

I wish you'd tell
him not to, Laird.

Either we're on a
scientific expedition

or we're a bunch of
boy scouts on an outing.

I agree with you, Helen,

but I guess it
won't do any hurt.

There's too much infantile
romanticism in this crew.

Well, I guess I'd better
leave this behind then.

I was gonna do this outside,
but I guess it can wait.

What are those?

First letters from the Moon,

I even got my own
cancellation stamp.

Oughta be worth a couple
of hundred bucks a piece.

Why didn't you make
up about 50 of them?

Brings the price down,
boy, stamps has gotta be rare.

Mr. Walters, when you're ready.

All set, sir!

I'll go first, you wait here.

It works!

Come ahead!

Think of it, Helen.

200,000 miles away, we were.

Yet, we knew it
would be like this.

We'll head that way.

Any particular reason?

There's a cave in
the side of the crater

over there, I noticed it
as we were settling in.

Buried treasure, perhaps?

Kip, would you mind very much

if we did operate by
the book for a while?

Whatever the Commander says.

Single file!

Look out, meteorite!

Here we are at
the dividing line.

It may not seem
like much to us, but if

Helen will fish me
out one of those

silly cigarettes, I'll
show you something.

There it is!

Just like Helen said.

I wonder if the Commander
would permit an observation.

Aw, come on, Kip, we
don't have to get that formal.

Well I only wanted to point out

that from the angle the
ship entered the crater,

it would've been impossible for
Miss Salinger to spot that cave.

You mean she just
guessed it was there?

If she could guess
a landing spot on

the dark side of the Moon,

I suppose she
could guess a cave.

- What are you driving at?
- I don't know.

But I'll guarantee
it isn't in the book.

Come on, let's go.

- Magnificent.
- Let's go in!

Might as well.

Wait a minute,

wouldn't it be wise for someone
to stay behind and guard the ship?

I don't think
anybody will take it.

Helen?

Helen!

Come on, this way!

Stay right where you are!

I don't wanna lose anybody.

Exactly as I dreamed it.

Or did I?

Maybe this is the dream.

It's pretty weird.

Have you had enough?

If you're tired, we can go back.

No.

We go on this way.

Somebody miscalculated
on these boots, Laird,

they're far too heavy.

They were all right outside.

I can't understand it.

Laird.

Look!

Moisture!

How can there be water
without atmosphere?

Impossible!

This may be something
that only looks like water.

Scientist doesn't know enough

to come in out of the rain.

Commander, did
it ever occur to you

that maybe this is atmosphere?

On the Moon?

Could be why it's
hard for us to walk.

Where there's
atmosphere there's gotta be

gravitational pull to
hold it, even I know that.

We'll go back and
get our instruments.

That won't be necessary.

This'll prove it.

It's burning, that means oxygen.

One at a time!

It's air, all right!

Wait until I tell 'em
I was the first man

to breathe on the Moon.

Maybe we can
bottle this stuff for sale.

Moon mist, for chronic
coughs and asthma.

Well, Laird, you'll
have to admit

that one wasn't in the book.

How do you figure it?

That makes you
very happy, I suppose.

Nah,

just curious.

Magnetic field on the
dark side could exert

a gravitational pull if

a special one.

'Course, we'd have to verify it.

And this is a natural
decompression chamber, isn't it, sir?

We're almost at the end.

How do you know
we're almost at the end?

Well, it stands to
reason, the air isn't stuffy

so there must be
an opening nearby.

All right, we'll
leave the suits here.

Well, I know one thing
that goes with me, this.

Where there's oxygen
there can be life.

And where there's
life, there's death.

There you go again, Kip.

Why is it that the unknown
always frightens people?

Why can't we expect love
and friendship instead of death?

I'm all for love,
and friendship,

but I worry.

Now, if you don't mind,
Laird, I'll take the lead.

But I do mind, Kip.

In fact, I was about to suggest
that you bring up the rear.

Helen!

Doug, look out!

Look out, Walt!

Helen.

Easy...easy.

Easy does it.

We killed 'em.

Oh.

Isn't it funny? I...

I knew about
everything but this.

Forgive me, Kip.

I'm so sorry I was
cross with you.

You all right, Helen?

Yes.

Just let me rest a little.

Walt, you come with
me, we're going back

and guard those spacesuits.

The rest of you follow as
soon as Helen can walk.

Doug, take this.

Any objections?

- Laird?
- No, Kip, go ahead.

Come on, let's go, look around.

What happened?

Nothing, I... I just opened
my eyes and missed you.

I'm all right now,
should we go on?

Kip and Walt have
gone back to the suits,

you can join
them if you're able.

Back? Why back?

I think we've had
enough for one day.

No.

You've been listening
to Kip, he's just afraid.

I don't think Kip was
afraid of anything, Helen.

But we don't know what's ahead.

Well, I'll tell you then.

Adventure, discovery, knowledge!

Isn't that why we came?

- Of course, but another day.
- Now!

If you don't wanna come
with me, I'll go on alone.

You listen to me, I'm still
Commander of this expedition.

You're not my Commander!

I know where I wanna
go and I'm going there!

Helen, what's gotten into you?

- Take your hands off me!
- Grainger, they're gone.

- The spacesuits?
- You must've missed 'em.

They're gone all
right, Commander.

We went back to the place
where we left them, there were

marks in the sands as if
they'd been dragged away.

Just to make sure, we
checked back as far as we could.

Darn near ran out of air.

But without suits,
we're trapped.

Unless we find the joker who took
them, and I'll have that gun now.

That settles the argument
Laird and I were having.

If we can't go back, the
obvious thing to do is go forward.

You seem very
proud of yourself, Helen.

I am.

There it is.

You said that as if
you knew it all the time.

It ain't true.

There can't be another world
in the bowels of the Moon.

That's exactly what it is.

Cold.

I'd say there hasn't been a fire
lit in this place in many years,

perhaps centuries.

Probably an
extinct civilization.

It took some form of intelligence
to steal those spacesuits.

Of course it did,

and a very high form
to build a place like this.

You seem to know all about it.

What do they look like?

Hey, come here!

Look, it's all
ready for lighting.

You bring your
cigarettes and matches?

I told you I didn't feel
at home without them.

Oh, that's better, I was
getting a mighty lonely feeling.

Helen.

Helen, I asked you a question.

What?

You seemed to know
this place was here.

What else do you know?

Nothing. I...

Certainly, I've never been here before.
I must've dreamed it.

Did you dream who
stole our spacesuits?

Of course not.

I grant you, Kip, this is
something we didn't foresee.

But let's not lose our
senses completely.

Somebody stole our suits!

And that somebody
must still be around here.

Hey!

You out there!

Hey!

- You out there!
- That guy sounds lost.

Come on, Doug,
let's look around.

Hey!

Help!

Help!

- What happened?
- Something jumped me.

- What sort of thing?
- I couldn't tell,

it jumped on my back
and tried to get at my throat.

- Where's Helen?
- I don't know,

but I caught a glimpse
of her during the fight

and she was just
standing there watching.

Helen!

Helen!

Helen!

Helen!

The fire!

Helen!

Spread out quickly.

I got one, over here!

Let's have a look at it.

Anything in the book
about that, Professor?

I don't know what to
believe any more, Kip.

Well, you can believe this, they
were definitely after this gun.

From here on we stick together,
so they can't pick us off one by one.

I've got a hunch Helen
will be back, we'll wait,

we'll... we'll give her one hour.

I'm still in command here, Kip.

That's right, Laird.

If you order us to separate,
and go hunting for Helen,

we will.

No.

We'll wait.

I am here, Alpha.

It has been a
long journey, Helen.

Welcome to the Moon.

This is my second
in command, Beta.

And this is Lambda.

The others you
will meet in time.

There's still so much I...

I don't understand.

You are now one of us.

Ask anything.

Well, I,

I still can't be sure whether you're
speaking my language or I yours.

We need no language, Helen.

We can project our
thoughts long distances,

as you well know.

Some day we will teach you.

In the meantime, we
will speak your tongue,

just as we speak all
of Earth's tongues.

Remember that our generation
predates yours by centuries.

Yes.

What you taught me
about celestial navigation,

made me look
like quite a genius.

But why me, Alpha,
and not the others?

We have no use for men.

What Beta means, is
that we have no contact,

or control over them as
we do among ourselves.

It seemed rather
difficult to get a crew

entirely composed of women.

We decided to
concentrate on you.

With your wisdom, how is it
you never came to us on Earth?

Our ancestors made
one fatal error, Helen.

When they discovered that
the atmosphere around us

was beginning to disappear,

they decided to conserve oxygen.

Do you know what that meant?

Maximum energy reduction.

Planned genocide,
to reduce population.

Then, we discovered we were
only postponing the inevitable.

It was too late.

Our only hope was that a
spaceship would come to us.

And now that we're here?

You will take back
only three of us.

We three.

Only women?

We have no men.

But my knowledge
is limited to navigation.

Can you... can you run
the ship without them?

They will teach us how.

But you said you had
no control over them.

Show us their weak points.

We'll take care of the rest.

It's strange.

I should care what
happens to them...

And yet I don't.

No,

you see,

we don't care, and
you are one of us.

All right, Kip, it's one
hour, you were wrong.

Wait a minute.

I hear something.

Where have you been?

I've been trying to convince
them we're their friends.

You know, Kip, it was your
gun that frightened them.

I'd promised them
you'd put it away.

Then un-promise.

This gun stays out until
they produce the spacesuits.

Try to convince them of that.

Have no fear,
Lieutenant Reissner.

Your suits are safe, and will be
returned to you at the end of your visit.

Helen, they speak English.

There's is an
ancient culture, Laird.

Their communication system
is far in advance to ours.

You wanna be friends?

Then bring the
spacesuits here and now.

Oh, don't be a bore!

It's all right, my
dear, I understand.

Your suits will
be returned to you

in the morning, Lieutenant.

Good, let's now
start being friendly.

Pay no attention to
him, he's only the co-pilot.

Commander Grainger
here is our chief pilot

and head of our expedition.

This is Doug
Smith, radio operator

and Walt Walters
is our engineer.

I don't know all
of their names yet,

but this is Alpha,
Lambda, and Beta.

And most important
of all, here is food.

Alpha?

Yes, they seem to have mastered
the art of mental telepathy.

I don't understand
it yet myself, but

she was sending me
messages all the way.

Should... should
we take a chance?

Why not?

Delicious.

Tastes a little like
honeydew melon.

May we serve you, Earth men?

Well, thanks,

Lambda.

Come, sit down.

Delighted.

Mmm.

Come on, Kip, it's great!

I brought my dinner with me.

Rations?

He must be nuts.

Yes, sir, this is a nice layout.

I wonder what the folks
back home would think,

if they knew I was having dinner
with a beautiful Moon woman.

Do you have a
special Earth girl?

No, nobody special.

How 'bout you?

Incidentally, where
are your men folk?

You're the first
man I've ever seen.

Ours died off when
I was still a child.

Gee, then it's a lucky
thing we came along.

Well, I mean, so you'd
know what a man looks like.

I mean.

I'm sorry about your
men folk, Lambda.

I didn't mean it any other way.

I understand, Doug.

But after the Navigator
has set the course,

how do you adjust
this automatic pilot?

Well, that's pretty
complicated, and besides,

it's restricted information.

Let's talk about your people.

I wanna know how
that girl, Lambda,

disappeared from
right under our noses.

And how you were
able to contact Helen

before we even hit the Moon.

That, Commander, is a
good deal more complicated

than your automatic pilot.

But if you will explain the one,

I will at least try to indicate
how we have achieved

complete control over
our bodies and minds.

Perhaps some other day.

I'm sure you understand,
but I'm under orders.

As you wish.

Some of our wine?

Say.

You wouldn't have
any small works of art

that I could take home with
me as a souvenir, would ya?

You may have this.

Thanks, I was admiring it.

What's it made of?

You have no metal
on Earth to compare.

We call these
things slave bracelets.

They're made out
of gold sometimes.

Gold?

Why?

For the carriage
trade, plenty expensive.

Gold, but it's so common.

Gold, common?

We don't even bother to dig it.

You mean it just
hangs around loose?

There's a place near here,

where there's more gold
than you could carry away

in your rocketship
in a hundred years.

I don't believe it,

at least not 'til you show me.

I'll make a bargain with you.

You take me aboard
your rocketship,

I'll show you the cave of gold.

Uh-uh, the Skipper
wouldn't buy it.

Just wouldn't go for it.

Besides, we'd need those
spacesuits to get out of that tunnel.

I know where the spacesuits are.

A whole cave full of real gold.

And you'd keep it a secret?

Just between us, you
wouldn't tell anybody?

Or on Saturday nights,
you can go out on the town.

Dance, drink, just
laugh a little too hard.

I'd like the driving
down to the beach best.

Stretching out on the sand.

Just a boy and a girl together.

And,

and maybe what you call a,

a Coke.

You would?

That's what I like best too.

With the right girl, of course.

To the everlasting
friendship of our peoples.

Amen.

And now I know
you must be tired.

We will return tomorrow,

and with your spacesuits,
my foolish friend!

I can be had.

Well, I hope you had
yourselves a time.

If we didn't blunder
ahead and start a war

between the worlds,
it's no thanks to you.

No thanks asked.

Question is, who's gonna stand
the first 2-hour watch tonight?

- Helen?
- What for?

Walt?

Where is Walt?

Last I saw, he was
wandering off with Beta.

- Fast worker, that guy.
- That's not funny.

Walt!

Walt!

Walt!

Walt Walters!

Didn't we agree
to stick together?

I don't think he's
in danger, Kip.

What do you think,
Miss Salinger?

I think you're
spoiling for a fight.

You're so right, would
you like to step into

- my private office?
- Any time!

- Kip!
- Don't worry,

I won't slug her.

- Doug, stand guard.
- Okay, Kip.

This way, Miss Salinger.

Now then, which side are you on?

I didn't know we had sides.

I'm convinced you
deliberately led us into this.

I'd be very happy if
you'd un-convince me.

I don't know what you mean.

Look, Helen, I have a
very high regard for you,

you're smart, you have courage.

And you're all woman, and
if it hadn't been for Laird,

I'd have tried to make it
you and me a long time ago.

- Flattery will get you no place.
- Helen!

Take your big hands off of me!

Not until you level with me.

Oh, come on, now, I'm
not hurting you that much.

Don't let go, Kip.

- Helen, what's the matter?
- Danger, Kip.

They wanna kill you,
they'll take the spaceship

and they'll make
me go with them.

Well, how?

They can Kip, they control me.

Control you?

Even with Laird,
I liked you best.

But Laird knew more, and
they wanted me with him.

They don't control
you now, do they?

No.

But hang on.

Hold on tight.

You're dog-gone right I will.

You're dog-gone right.

You won't tell Laird
about this, will you?

One of us will have to.

I don't want to hurt
him. I'll handle it.

Let's get back to Earth first.

Sure, look, tell me,

how do these cat women
intend to play their hand?

Well, not for a few days.

But don't worry, they
can't do a thing without me.

I understand.

What about Walt?

Boys will be boys, I guess.

- Can we go in? I'm exhausted.
- Sure.

Sleep well, Helen.

Well?

You were right, Laird.

My apologies.

- She's a fine girl.
- Of course she is.

You know, there's a lot of
things I don't understand yet.

But you can be sure that
there's a perfectly valid

and scientific
reason for all of it.

That's right, Laird.

These people may be far
ahead of us in many things.

- Not as far as they think.
- What do you mean?

Nothing.

We'll talk about it in the
morning, let's get some sleep.

And I don't think we
need to stand guard.

By the way, if Walt comes back,

eat him out on general
principles, will you?

You're the expert at that,
you get my full permission.

In other words,
this controls this,

in a ratio of six to one.

The speed control
retarder, the stabilizer

and the cut off.

You're too smart for me, baby.

I like 'em stupid.

Why don't you stay on the Moon

and let me do your job?

Well, if that gold is piled
as high as you say it is,

one more trip and
you can have my job.

- It's there for the looking.
- Come on, let's go.

Hey.

Hey.

Sorry to disturb you.

But I feel like a chaperone
at a fraternity dance.

What's the matter?

Doug's just gone
off with Lambda.

Lambda?

Well, that's bad, Kip,
she's the dangerous one.

Dangerous, that kid?

Yes, you better go after them.

There may have
been a change in plans.

Okay.

In their mood, I don't
imagine they went very far.

Beta, it's really gold!

Yes, Doug.

Gold.

Gold.

What's the matter?

Go away, quick, quick.

But why?

Was it anything I said or did?

No.

- No, please, save yourself.
- From what?

From me.

Because I love you, Doug.
Yet, I must kill you.

I love you too, Lambda.

And I'm not afraid.

Oh, listen to me.

The survival of my
people is at stake.

In another few years,
this underground world

will be as dead as the
bright side of the Moon.

I will come back, Lambda.

I promise.

This ship is only
the first of many.

Oh, but don't you see?

We must be sure.

Two million years
of civilization,

does one gamble
that on... on a promise?

Lambda,

I will come back.

Kip, old man.

I'm afraid I'm going to have
to intercede for Walt and Doug.

You know, there
must be something

to this Moon and romance stuff.

All right.

Now Helen, you say something.

It's obvious, isn't it?

All that poppycock I told
you about on the terrace

was just to get you to go
away, now go away, will you?

That's what I'd like to do.

But I'm sure not
getting any help.

Shh, she's in tune with Helen.

Grainger is explaining
the automatic pilot.

I must talk to Alpha,
Helen can tell her later.

- Is it important?
- Yes.

I think we should take one
of the men back with us.

Why?

Because if we show good
faith, they might send more ships.

Four of us will be enough.

We will get their
women under our power

and soon we will
rule the whole world.

But I don't want
to rule the world.

I want to live on it just
like the Earth people do.

Lambda, we are coming
into a new situation.

We must bring
our culture to Earth.

No.

She's fallen in love
with the radio operator.

Is that true?

And what if it is?

There is no room
in your life for love.

We will choose your
man eugenically.

You and Beta will have
girl children fit to carry on.

The best of the Earth
mongrels will be none-to-good.

I won't do it!

I love Doug and
you must take him.

- Threats, my dear?
- Yes.

It just so happens you
can't leave without us,

and I won't tell you why.

Lambda, you will tell me why.

You think you can force me?

My will is just as
strong as yours.

And now we have
no time to waste.

Kip.

Well, I didn't expect
to see you again.

I think we'd better plan
on getting out of here.

No, when did you arrive at
that momentous decision?

Some of these Moon people
are planning to steal our ship.

No.

But one of them is on our side.

I suppose you mean Helen?

Well, Helen's liable to
be a bit of a problem, too,

she's been marked,

she's under the
influence of these people.

Kid, you interest me strangely.

What gossip column
have you been reading?

Lambda told me.

I guess we sorta fell in love.

Oh, blessings on you.

Did she say when the cat women

intended to try
their little game?

As soon as they get all the
information they need about the ship.

Someone was
supposed to work on Walt,

- and someone else was on Laird.
- Huh?

On Laird?

On Laird.

- Where have you been?
- Never mind that.

We're just curious to know what you
two lovebirds have been talking about.

- Don't tell him!
- Why not?

I'm afraid you'd be
very much disappointed,

we're just talking shop,
anything wrong with that?

No, not a thing.

Except the cat women
are out to steal our ship.

And Helen's tied
body and soul to them.

That's a lie!

I resent that, Kip.
What's your evidence?

Well, for one thing, Doug got
the dope from little Lambda.

For another, Helen
told me herself.

- We were out on the terrace...
- No!

She told me to hold her tight.

Not to kiss her, but
just to hold her hand...

Let go of my hand!

Not this time, baby.

Oh, thank you, Kip.

Thank you.

Now, let's set the
record straight.

Are you in love with Laird?

No.

Have you been bleeding him for
information to pass on to Alpha?

Yes.

And who...

do you really love?

You.

- You take your hands...
- No, Laird, don't!

Laird, stop!

Stop!

Laird!

Laird!

Stop it! Stop!

You wanna put her
back under Alpha's spell?

Helen?

Where is she?

Helen!

Doug! They're on their
way, I couldn't stop them.

- Who?
- Helen, Alpha and Beta.

Just the three of them, they're
going to steal the rocketship.

Why didn't they take
two more of your people?

They didn't want to, for one
thing, they couldn't for another.

I hid out two of the spacesuits.

In that case, we're
still in business

provided we can stop them
before they reach the ship.

- Who goes with me?
- Doug.

Let's go.

There's come a time when
you can't find it in the book.

I know that now.

How much head-start
do you think they have?

Too much! Unless
something holds them up.

Lambda.

Would you leave me?

- But you turned against us.
- How could I?

It was a moment of weakness.

Wait for me here, and I'll
get another suit and join you.

It's a trap, come on!

I won't let you go.

Helen, look at me.

My will is as strong as theirs.

They'll kill you as
they've killed Walt.

Stay here!

You will come with us.

Don't listen!

Stand firm!

Doug, the cat women are dead!

Helen's all right.

And as for you, young man...

What's done is done.

Is your radio okay?

It's okay, sir.

Contact White Sands.

Tell 'em we're coming in.

Moon Rocket Four
calling White Sands.

Moon Rocket Four calling
White Sands, come in?

Do you hear me, White Sands?

What! Who?

White Sands to Moon
Rocket, was that you?

Don't blow a gasket, White
Sands, we're coming in.

Leaving Moon at 0117 your time.

But what happened?

That is a long story.

Over to you and out.
