An orphan endures a harsh life in a workhouse before fleeing to London, where he falls in with a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the criminal Fagin, and eventually finds a better life, exposing the cruelties of poverty and child labor in Victorian England.

In this unauthorized adaptation of the first two Flash Gordon story arcs, the world's greatest astronaut, Roy del Espacio, is sent to Mars with Dr. Faz and psychologist Helena to investigate the cosmic rays coming from the planet. What ensues is a space epic of recognizable proportions.
