These women soon get mixed up with a group of gangsters who are searching for a treasure of stolen diamonds that is supposedly hidden in the swamps.

The crew of the Satellite of Love, including Joel, Tom Servo, and Crow, are joined by a new member, Mike Nelson, who has replaced Joel as the human test subject for the mad scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester and his assistant TV's Frank. Together, they watch the film and provide hilarious commentary on the plot, dialog, and special effects.

Despite the terrible film they had to endure, they manage to find humor and joy in the experience, making for an entertaining and hilarious episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
