In the dark reaches of the universe lies a remote planet that holds both forbidden pleasures and unspeakable horrors. For three naive smugglers, it's also a place to unload some deadly cargo: an Alien egg. But, something about this egg is scaring off the black marketers. And when it hatches, the nightmare's just begun.

The contaminated Alien egg has hatched, and has become the problem of media personality Hank Zither. But playing unknowing host to a chestburster isn't enough to cancel his trip to a new pleasure planet with sexy Ivy Derringer. Zither thinks he's only caught a nasty bug, but doesn't know the half of it. And neither do the planet's unsuspecting inhabitants, who are about to have a full-scale Alien epidemic on their hands.

How do you deal with an Alien plague? The inhabitants of the pleasure planet Celeste take care of business with good old-fashioned nuclear weapons. (They're a precocious bunch, to be sure!) But as they scheme to rid themselves of the Alien, the creature is spreading a new fatal airborn virus like wildfire. However they solve their problem, it will probably spell an apocalyptic end for the good citizens of Earth!
