This film is a sequel to Gigantes planetarios (Planetary Giants); it seems that the actors never knew that the scenes they were filming would be used to make two movies instead of one. While strolling through the town fair, Marcos the boxer, Taquito his 'second' and the beautiful Silvia board a flying saucer believing it to be a fairground attraction. It takes off and carries them away to the planet Sibila, ruled by Queen Adastrea. The Sibilians want to use human transplants to adapt their lungs to the Earth's atmosphere and then invade the planet. Alburnia, the ruthless queen's good-hearted twin sister, warns scientist Daniel Wolf of the Sibilians' evil scheme; he travels to Sibila, seduces and then doublecrosses Adastrea in order to foil her plans and save the Earth.
