Sent from Venus on an extraordinary mission, Gamma and Beta travel through space searching for males who might help secure their planet's future. Their spacecraft carries an assortment of unusual creatures gathered during their journey.

When their travels bring them to Mexico, the visitors encounter Lauriano, a cheerful singing cowboy whose everyday world is far removed from interplanetary adventure.

The meeting leads to romantic complications and comic misunderstandings as the women discover life on Earth. Lauriano soon finds himself involved in events stranger than any tall tale.

With alien creatures adding danger to the confusion, an unlikely hero must face a situation that mixes country charm with otherworldly threats.

Combining monster-movie imagination, musical moments and broad comedy, The Ship of Monsters offers a distinctive adventure from Mexican genre cinema.
