[edit] Plot synopsis

The film begins with mob thugs in pursuit of Tony Mareda, Jr., a former Olympic athlete who is the world's greatest private detective. When they reach the sleepy backwater town of Beamsville, Tony ducks into the local drive-in theater, where he is followed by the hit men. As Tony takes out the mobsters amidst the parked cars, a pink meteor roars overhead and crashes in the nearby woods. The townspeople rush out of the theater to find the meteor, but as the young couples get close to the meteor the women begin to hear a ringing sound coming from the glowing pink rock that turns them into lusty nymphomaniacs. Controlled by the meteor, the women attack the men. One of the few who escapes the effect is the local TV weatherman, Clip Bacardi, who was too engrossed in his discovery of a small fragment of the meteor to notice his girlfriend, local librarian Mary Ann Kowalski, as she attempts to make out with him.

The next morning, the local men who went after the meteor are found in the woods in a catatonic state and there is an empty crater where the meteor landed. Facing a challenge from Mary Ann in the upcoming election, the town's mayor decides to get the visiting Tony Mareda to find out what happened to the men. That evening, however, Clip goes on the air with his fragment, and the sound it emits turns all of the women watching the broadcast into sex-hungry slaves of the meteor. As Tony begins his investigation, the women eliminate witnesses and take over the local TV station. Clip joins Tony, the mayor, and other townspeople in forming a posse to hunt for the meteor; as they search the woods, Clip encounters his scantily-clad girlfriend, who nearly incapacitates him before Tony is able to render her unconscious using chloroform.

With Mary Ann in jail, Tony and Clip go back into the woods and track the meteor to a cave. They escape a group of women who arrived to worship it, only to find that the women's takeover of Beamsville is complete, the roads out of town blocked off, and the men reduced to dazed zombies. Clip attempts to discover how to defeat the meteor by experimenting on the fragment he possesses, but is overcome by the fumes produced after accidentally setting it on fire. Tony is also subdued and is awakened back in the cave by Mary Ann, who announces that the meteor, which she refers to as "Betty," has chosen him to be the father of its offspring. As it draws Tony to it, however, the cave wall to which he is chained collapses, causing the chamber to flood with water -- the meteor's weakness. Washed out of the cave, Tony and Mary Ann (who is able to resist the meteor's influence when she sees Clip being attacked by it) push the pulsating rock into the town lake, destroying it and returning the controlled women to normal.
