Setting the Scene

Sam Gallactic and his crew are on their first voyage together, on Sunburster One. Their mission is to deliver Homeworld President Sekurikor’s daughter Dazzle to the planet Procyon to her finishing school. On route they are set upon by ‘the Bolshies’. Will Sam and the crew Save the day and have time for a Chinese Take away.

Dazzle is kidnapped by an Irish astral pirate called Slimebag.It isn’t Dazzle that’s the target, but the D.A.Z.Z.L.E. Star crystal that she has been secretly carrying. The ‘D.A.Z.Z.L.E. Star’ once put in a computer sphere, radiates a defence force field of incredible power, which will be used to make Procyon a safe haven for the people of Homeworld. D.A.Z.Z.L.E. stands for Defender of All Zenith Zones and a Little Extra. To prevent Slimebag and his slimies from getting hold of the Star Dazzle throws it into space. They then pull the plug on the shines and off they go down the plug hole. Now Dazzle and Sam have to travel back to 1960 to find the Star. Here they meet Sue Zuki and her greasers and greasettes, who have the star but will only return it if they are given a cure for their pimples. Sam beams down his medical team, the pimples are cured and the Star is returned. Sam becomes admiral and marries Dazzle and everyone lives happily ever after.
