What Is Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity About?

The premise of Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity in 302 words, with nothing given away. The full story follows below.

In a cold‑future where interstellar prisons float like silent hulks across the void, two determined women seize a daring chance at freedom. After shattering the walls of their space gulag, they pilot a battered shuttle into the unknown, only to crash on a wildly untamed world whose jungle throbs with alien colors and strange sounds. The planet itself feels both a sanctuary and a trap, its dense foliage and eerie horizons promising countless hidden dangers for anyone who steps beyond the wreckage.

Daria and Tisa quickly discover that survival here hinges on more than brute force. Clad in rugged, makeshift attire and armed with only knives and sharp instincts, the pair lean on each other’s contrasting strengths—Daria’s fierce resolve and Tisa’s quick wit—to navigate the bewildering terrain. Their bond, forged in the fires of oppression, becomes a fragile lifeline as they learn to read the jungle’s secret currents and the strange silhouettes that flicker beyond sight.

Welcome into this precarious refuge comes Zed, a scar‑marked man whose hospitable façade masks a far more unsettling purpose. He offers shelter, food, and a semblance of normalcy, yet an undercurrent of predatory intent lingers in every guarded glance. The uneasy coexistence between host and guests sets a tense, cat‑and‑mouse rhythm that colors every interaction, hinting at motives that are anything but benign.

Against this backdrop of glittering stars and oppressive foliage, the women’s journey becomes a race against time. With only their knives, each other, and the vague promise of a hidden arms cache, they press deeper into the wilderness, chasing a glimmer of hope before Zed can close the net. The film balances visceral sci‑fi spectacle with a simmering, suspenseful tone, inviting viewers to wonder what lies beyond the next twisted vine and whether freedom can truly be reclaimed in such an alien wilderness.

What Happens in Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity?

The complete story of Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity, from the first scene to the last, in 495 words (about 2 minutes). Spoilers throughout.

Spoilers ahead

Daria [Elizabeth Kaitan] and Tisa [Cindy Beal], two nubile female prisoners wearing rough-cut rabbit skin bikinis, break out of their cell in a space gulag, overpower their guards, and escape in a shuttlecraft. The ship malfunctions and the girls crash land on a nearby habitable world where they become guests of Zed [Don Scribner], a scarred man who lives in a fortress guarded by two robots. Given new clothes, the girls are invited to join Zed for dinner at his table. At dinner, the two girls meet two other survivors from another crash, Rik [Carl Horner] and his sister Shala [Brinke Stevens]. They warn the girls that something is not right about Zed and that other survivors of their crash have disappeared.

A late-night visit to Zed’s secret trophy room reveals all: the walls are lined with the heads of dozens of Zed’s previous guests whom he hunted for sport.

Realizing they are next, Rik and Daria sneak out into the jungle several hours before dawn to set traps and survey the area. In the meantime, Zed takes Shala prisoner and forces himself on her to goad Rik into participating in the hunt. Zed sends an android to ensure the guests are in bed where they’re supposed to be, but Rik and Daria are still out. Tisa intercepts the android on its way to check the rooms and distracts it by going skinny dipping. Eventually, Zed goes up to check the rooms himself. As Rik and Daria are coming in the window, they hear Zed approaching, strip, and jump into bed, pretending to have been having sex. Once Zed leaves, the pretend sex becomes real lovemaking, and the two lie in bed talking about having found purpose and contentment.

The next morning, Rik is forced into the hunt and becomes Zed’s trophy. Daria and Tisa attempt to escape and are captured. They are chained to a column with Shala and told the rules of the hunt. The trio is then turned loose by Zed, to be hunted as game; he warns them to stay away from the “Phantom Zone”.

Shala sacrifices herself to save Tisa from Zed. Using a map, the remaining two find their way to the Phantom Zone, an ancient temple inhabited by zombie-like creatures. They find a cache of laser weapons, and return to the jungle to fight Zed, pursued by one of the creatures. Zed knocks Daria off of a bridge over a chasm to her apparent death; unbeknownst to him, she saves herself by grabbing hold of a vine. He returns with Tisa to his fortress where he attempts to rape her. Daria interrupts and fights him; the monster that was pursuing her shows up, mortally wounds Zed, and attacks the women. They manage to kill the creature and find a spaceship to escape the planet. Zed, dying from his injuries, initiates a self-destruct of his fortress but Daria and Tisa escape in time, and decide to explore the universe.
