Plot Summary
Kennie Barcroft is a man who has “a way with women” and frequently dates gorgeous girls. He attempts to convince the woman he is on a date with to have sex with him, but she refuses and when he continues his advances she slaps him. He is insulted and leaves the woman, despite her attempts to gain his forgiveness, and as he walks outside he sees a mysterious alien spacecraft in the night sky.

The ship lands and two beautiful women walk out of the craft and Kennie expresses excitement at the sight of them. The two women state that they “come-in-peace” and more gorgeous women walk out of the ship. He quickly begins to flirt with the women as they begin to tell him of their mission to Earth. They come from a planet without men and in order to avoid extinction they need to bring a man to their world.

Kennie excitedly offers himself to them, especially when he learns that as the only man he will become King of their world. He enters the ship and they depart quickly from Earth. He attempts to flirt with the women aboard the ship, but they inform him that he is only meant for the Queen and that he is not to touch them. Kennie is extremely excited at the thought of the beautiful queen that awaits him.

They arrive on the planet and Kennie begins to acclimate to his place on the world. After an hour without seeing the Queen he grows impatient and begins to force himself on one of the women, proclaiming that he is King and she must obey him. But his excitement quickly erodes away when he touches the woman and realizes that she is a robot. She tells him that all of the women he has met are robots who were built by the Queen.

She begins to take him to the Queen, but Kennie has been startled out of his reverie and begins to scream for them to release him as his fear of the unknown grows. He is locked in a room with the Queen and he is utterly horrified to lay his eyes on the grotesque and disfigured woman who approaches him with an open embrace.
