Tagline: A Step Beyond Science Fiction

Plot: This unique collection of six animated stories combines science fiction with fantasy, horror, comedy, sex and rock music.

The segments include "Harry Canyon" and "Den." In the first, a New York City cab driver gets mixed up with a beautiful femme fatale. Although he's become so hardened that he keeps a death ray in his car to kill troublesome riders, he lets his guard down long enough to fall for his latest passenger... and it could cost him his life.

In "Den," a nerdy student travels to another planet and transforms into a macho stud with incredible strength. While fighting villains, beautiful women throw themselves at him.

Other stories in this anthology feature the exploits of a beautiful female warrior, pilots fighting off a creature from another world, and a Pentagon secretary who gets captured by an alien. There's also one off-the-wall segment played purely for comic effect.

The stories are all linked by sequences featuring a fiendish green meteorite that claims to be the cause of evil throughout the world.
