''[[Stingray Sam]]'' is a 2009 space-western/musical serial film from the same creative team behind ''[[The American Astronaut]]''.
Stingray Sam, a lounge singer on parole on Mars, finds himself <s>invited</s> kidnapped by his former partner-in-crime The Quasar Kid on a mission to rescue a girl child being held by [[Upper Class Twit]] Fredward. This provides an excuse for much social satire, [[Non Sequitur Scene]] songs, and dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing!
