Tropes for the film:

  • The Mutiny: The mutiny takes place on a Space Station which has become contaminated by a lethal alien fungus. Unfortunately the station commander, Frank Cromwell, has fallen to Space Madness and so has to removed from command.
  • Space Madness: Frank is suffering from "space raptures", which can cause hallucinations and affect judgement. This is bad news when the station has become contaminated by an alien fungus, thus leading to the eponymous 'mutiny' as the crew attempt to remove him from command.
  • Space Station: The mutiny takes place on Space Station X-7 9 (a classic wheel design), which has become contaminated by an alien fungus.
  • Tagline: "Astounding adventure from the center of the moon!".
