The narrative follows Tim Mallory, an engineer, and his fiancée, Dorothy Lane, as they are caught in a catastrophic crash of their spaceship, the Orestes, commanded by Dorothy's father, Captain Lane. Finding themselves stranded in the treacherous Badlands of Venus, the trio must survive hunted by bizarre, bat-like creatures known as bat-men or vampires.
