The human(oid) inhabitants of Mars have a big problem. Something's happened to their genetics that has given them a badly skewed sex ratio, something like 100 men for each woman. So some Martians decided to get some women from their neighboring planet, Earth.

Five of them go on an expedition to pick up five Earthwomen, and they have some success -- for a while. But one of them does a no-no: he falls in love with his target.

This seems like a very cheesy, low-budget production, long on stock footage and short on special effects.

An oldie but a goodie. I grew up on those 50s-60s movies. Saturday Creature Feature out of NYC. The Thing, THEM. The Mysterions.
