Star Maidens

Als Mann hat man auf dem Planeten Medora nichts zu lachen. Männer sind auf dem Planeten, der nach einer Reise durchs halbe Weltall in unserem Sonnensystem gelandet ist, nur Sklaven, die den Frauen ein Leben in Luxus ermöglichen. Die beiden Männer Akam (Pierre Brice) und Schemm (Gareth Thomas) haben genug davon, klauen ein Raumschiff und flüchten zur Erde. Akams Gebieterin Brisba (Judy Geeson) und ihre Assistentin Ossrawa (Christine Krüger) verfolgen sie. Der Wissenschaftler Professor Evans (Derek Farr) bemerkt die Ankunft der Außerirdischen, doch seine beiden jungen Kollegen Richard Smith (Christian Quadflieg) und Dr. Liz Barry (Lisa Harrow) werden von ihnen entführt. Sie kämpfen auf Medora, die außerirdischen Männer auf der Erde gegen die Macht der Mädchen aus dem Weltraum.

• Die Mädchen aus dem Weltall

TV series of British/German origin, and set in the "present" Earth of the 1970s. A planet from another solar system drifts into Earth's system and is detected by some Earth scientists who investigate. The surface of this planet is no longer habitable and the residents have moved to a high-tech underground city. The society is ruled by the women, who of course, are all beautiful. Men are considered mentally inferior and are divided into two categories: the "adequately intelligent" who are selected by women to act as their personal "domestics" for household chores, and the remainder who are forced to perform menial labor under the supervision of female guards. The guards are attired nicely in visored helmets, boots, hot pants, and elbow-length gloves which are used to control the men through some sort of apparent force. Scientists from Earth (one men and one woman) find their way to the planet, and are forced to take their stated places in society. The man is chosen as a domestic, sometimes is forced to work on a city maintenance crew, and the woman is assigned a white-collar job. The aliens also visit Earth clandestinely in their tear-drop shaped ship. Some episodes bluntly address the issue of unfair discrimination based on sex.
