Teenagers from Outer Space is a '50s era SF Cult Classic Snark Bait B-Movie about a pair of ... "teenagers" from outer space. Their spaceship lands on Earth, and they decide that this is the perfect planet to begin a ranch for giant lobsters gargons. The idealistic young crew member Derek makes a moral objection when he sees there is already life on the planet. Then he makes an armed objection, attempting mutiny; he fails, and has to escape the wrath of his crew (after all, the high court might have sentenced him to...never mind) and flees to a small town nearby. There he meets Betty - the most Fifties girl in that Fifties world. Meanwhile, the brash dog kicker Thor is sent to capture him -- alive; it turns out that Derek's secretly the son of "Our Leader". Meanwhile, the gargons have grown huge and have to be destroyed.
