In the 40th century, Barbarella is assigned by the President of Earth to retrieve Doctor Durand-Durand (the band Duran Duran took its name from this mad scientist) from the planet Tau Ceti in order to save the Earth. On her quest, Barbarella is seduced by Mark Hand. In turn, she seduces an angel named Pygar. She visits SoGo, a decadent city ruled over by the Great Tyrant, and powered by a liquid essence of evil called the Matmos. She is captured, and overloads a torture device called the Excessive (or “Ex-sex-sive”) Machine, which kills through sexual pleasure.
