1953 Cat-Women of the Moon is the story of four men (Sonny Tufts, Victor Jory, William Phipps, and Douglas Fowley) and a woman (Marie Windsor) who blast off in a rocketship, and land on the dark side of the moon. The five astronauts on a scientific expedition discover a cave which somehow retains a breathable atmosphere. They remove their space suits and venture on, soon finding a buried city where they encounter a race of “Cat-women”, the last eight survivors of a 2-million-year-old civilization deep within a cave where they have managed to maintain the remnants of a breathable atmosphere that once covered the Moon. The remaining air will soon be gone and they must escape if they are to survive. They plan to steal the expedition’s space ship and return to Earth.

Through the use of their telepathic ability the Cat-women have been subliminally controlling Helen Salinger (Marie Windsor) since before they left Earth so she could win the navigator position on the expedition and lead the crew to their location. Once Helen and the male members of the crew arrive on the moon the Cat-women take complete control of her mind. Unable to control the men’s minds they work around this obstacle with Helen’s help and the use of their superior abilities and feminine wiles. “Show us their weak points,” one says to Helen. “We’ll take care of the rest.”

Lemmy has continued to hear that strange music and Mitch tells Jet he shouldn’t allow Lemmy out of the ship because he is unstable. Jet and Doc, however, overrule Mitch and Lemmy will be allowed to leave the ship in turn with the others.

After a couple of days of routine spaceflight they have arrived. Spaceship Luna turns around with their rocket engines facing toward the Moon and descend to the surface of the Moon in the area of the Bay of Rainbows. The date is 25 October 1965 (the show is not clear on the actual date) when man first lands on the moon. A full four years before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin actually did it on July 20, 1969.

During the landing Lemmy hears that strange music again and causes some disruption. However, the crew successfully land and the Doc admits he may of heard the strange music too.
