It is the contemporary time and the rogue planet of Mongo - capital of the dreaded Cosmo Dominion - is careening through the galaxies for Earth. Launching a missile into our atmosphere, its gases begin seeding the clouds to create storms that strike lightning to reanimated the dead as a potential army. Having feared such a day would come, Dr. Hans Zarkov of NASA launches himself along with passengers Flash Gordon and Dale Arden in an interplanetary rocket towards Mongo to stop the carnage. Sentenced to die by the hand of Emperor Ming the Merciless, they are rescued by his daughter Princess Aura who helps them escape. In order to overthrow the evil Ming, they will need the help of other planets Ming's tyrannical Dominion has conquered to save Earth. Flash, Dale, Aura and Zarkov travel to rally several planets and their rulers together for a revolution against Ming's forces. Among the most prominent allies are Queens Desira, Fria and Undina along with the Princes Barin, Kala, Thun and Vultan. Planets like Arboria, Frigia, Leonia and Tropica will be crucial to driving Ming from power and saving Earth.
