Synopsis

William "Buck" Rogers is tricked into landing on the planet Zantia, where he is made a prisoner before being sold as a slave to Ariela, the daughter of the planet's Prime Minister. While living on the planet, Buck learns that all male members of Zantia's population have become prisoners of war while battling the planet Ruatha. Ariela talks Buck into helping free the prisoners, which involves secretly boarding the Ruathan ambassador's ship while it orbits Earth, a move that could place Earth at war with Ruatha—the Earth's only source for the valuable mineral, barberite.

Notes

 

• Ron Gans would later go on to play the voice of Armus in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Skin of Evil".
