Survivors of a downed military plane find themselves on an uncharted island with a tribe of beautiful women without men.

It may well be that the above description will make the movie sound delectable to those with a taste for such things, especially if I mention that it throws in a slurpasaur for good measure. Think of it as something like CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON or FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE in a lost world rather than another planet, and you get the picture. Unfortunately, this movie is just as lively as those are, and that is not a recommendation. Still, the movie is worth watching to hear one of the great howler lines of all time, namely: “Shoot anything with hair on it that moves!” It also features Lyle Talbot, a wisecracking kid from Brooklyn, a volcano, and one of those phantom hairdressers hidden in a cave somewhere to keep the women looking their best. It’s a little better than WILD WOMEN OF WONGO. You take it from there.
