Three scientists and two escaped convicts find themselves passengers on a rocket to the moon. Ducking into a lunar cave to escape some monsters, they encounter a dwindling race of cute, curvy women, most of them played by beauty pageant contestants. So, okay, it's not exactly "2001", but there's some real midnight-movie potential in this. The spider monster in the cave and the rock monsters on the surface have to be seen to be believed.
