Storyline

Emperor Spengo sees Marge Nelson and using a giant magnet, kidnaps her and her husband Dick, hoping to make her his before blowing up the Earth. He and other inhabitants of his planet are somewhat less than bright, and Dick begins reliving episodes of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in order to rescue Marge, save the Earth, and restore the rightful emperor to the throne.

Emperor Todd Spengo: On a scale of one-to-ten, in terms of... universe-dominating greatness, where would you place, say... oh, me?
General Afir: A ten sire, most definitely.
Emperor Todd Spengo: [musing] A ten? Hmmm...
[becoming more annoyed]
