NBC airs the seventh episode of Buck Rogers In The 25th Century. Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) guest stars.
A Zetan freighter is halted when it comes within Earth jurisdiction, and when Wilma and Buck board it, they find the captain of the freighter is an android. They rewrite parts of its memory and smuggle Buck aboard, part of a well-orchestrated plan to bust Jen Burton, the lover of an accused killer, out of prison and bring her to Earth to help find the killer. Buck manages to break Burton out of prison, but upon learning that this isn’t necessarily an escape to freedom, she’s less than cooperative with him. And worse yet, the prison’s relentless android guards are in hot pursuit – and unlike their quarry, they’re impervious to the desert heat.
