The first SF movie ever made. A group of scientists led by Professor Barbenfouillis are shot to the moon inside a giant capsule with a cannon. At a congress of the Astronomical Society, they present a plan on how to fly safely to the moon. With the exception of one scientist, the project was unanimously approved. The preparations go according to plan and the scientists are confident. Accompanied by attractive ladies, they board the capsule shortly before the launch. At the ceremonial launch, the French flag is waved, the wick is lit and the ball is shot to the moon. The journey also goes smoothly and when they arrive, they not only encounter a bizarre lunar surface, but also unpleasant lunar inhabitants.
