Plotting an escape from female-run planet Medusa, where she and her colleague Rudi (Christian Quadflieg) are held as hostages, Liz (Lisa Harrow) applies for a job as space pilot. Of course, Octavia (Christiane Krüger), chief of security on Medusa, sees through Liz's plot right away and tries to sabotage her efforts to become a pilot from square one, but to no avail - and what's worse, Clara (Dawn Addams), supreme ruler of Medusa, doesn't seem to share Octavia's lack of trust, and instead supports Liz's attempts to get a spaceship command any which way possible.

Finally, Liz and Rudi are on their first test flight through outer space, and when earth is already in arm's reach, they think they have made it - when they notice they are pretty much held on a leash, as their spaceship can be remote controlled from Medusa - which is the one and only reason that Clara had supported Liz all the way.

Remorseful, Liz and Rudi return to Medusa.

The futuristic pseudo pop art sets representing Medusa are of course lots of fun as always - but that said, Christian Quadflieg and Lisa Harrow, who carry this episode, are not among the better actors in the series, and their characters are only remotely interesting. Still, the whole thing is a bit of mindless fun ...
