       The villainous Buckethead orders his diminutive blue, hooded minions to capture the rebel leader Princess Serina and take from her the radio transmission she swiped. The minions shove their ship into hyperspace drive and race off. Unfortunately they miscalculated their destination and end up in a backwater southern town in the United States filled with rednecks. The would be dominators of the universe encounter further problems when one of the soldiers accidentally gets locked in the back of an exterminator truck. The others, apparently not realizing that they are not where they should be, continue their quest for the transmissions and begin taking hostages. By this time the townies figure out that their visitors are from space and so call in a goofy UFO specialist to investigate.

Lord Buckethead (yes, he really does have a bucket on his head) goes on a rampage in small-town America as he and his handful of little helpers are on the lookout for "the princess and the secret transmissions". But apparently they've landed on the wrong planet! What follows is a rare and surprisingly funny spoof on the "Star Wars"-trilogy. Buckethead, the Darth Vader of this story looks like something out of a Monty Python-picture as he roams the countryside. It's not always on target but when it is, the humour is so innovative, crazy and refreshing that with the low budget in mind one can't help feeling very impressed over Todd Durham's piece of work.

"Lord Buckethead" attempted to promote the movie in the UK by standing as a prospective MP for Parliament in both the 1987 and 1992 General Elections. Representing the "Gremloid" party he stood against Margaret Thatcher in her Finchley constituency and somehow got 131 votes. Five years later in 1992 he stood against the then PM John Major in Huntingdon and got 107 votes.
