UFO Cast

Sunspot activity causes Moonbase to be cut off from Earth, and allows a U.F.O. to approach undetected. But when the craft then inexplicably destroys itself within three miles of Moonbase, astronaut Conroy is sent to investigate. At the crash site he finds a rare moon diamond, which he takes back with him. Later, Conroy is astonished to see Mexican bandits in Moonbase Control, and he is then shot by Straker and Foster in what appears to be a Wild West shootout. Back on Earth, Captain James goes berserk after seeing S.H.A.D.O. H.Q. filled with aliens, and then Commander Straker suddenly finds himself on a film set making a movie about S.H.A.D.O., and it seems that he is just an actor…
