The Americans and Russians each have a two-person base on the Moon The
Americans have had to keep replacing their astronaut teams because
they quickly go crazy; they have been using only male astronauts on
the unspoken assumption that this would avoid any possibility of
impropriety. The Russians, as godless Communists, are under no such
constraints, and their male-female team has remained well-adjusted At
the start of the film, a male and female American astronaut team is
sent up to replace the sex-starved all-male team. The government
insists on them being married first to preserve morality. Most of the
story revolves around the eventual consummation of this marriage of
convenience, and around their relationship with their Russian
neighbors, who keep casually dropping by.
