Overview
The majority of Earth's fighter squadron becomes incapacitated after using poisoned food discs. Buck, Wilma and Duke Denton fly to the distant planet of the food's origin, Vistula. They seek to track down a slave trader named Kaleel, who is collaborating with the planet's governor. While on the planet Vistula, they find that Kaleel has been building a fleet of attack ships in secret, and plans to use them against Earth's weakened defense forces. With Earth's defense force now heavily outnumbered 10-to-1, Buck decides that he must destroy the attack fleet and rescue Wilma, who has become trapped in Kaleel's mountain fortress. It originally aired as a 120-minute episode, but has been formatted as two 60-minute episodes in most subsequent re-airings for scheduling reasons. While many guides list it as a two-parter, its initial airing and release on DVD as one double-length episode should make this the official recognition.

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a dark comedy/thriller centered on a domestic crime and the protagonist's clever evasion of justice. Its core conflict and narrative resolution are apolitical, focusing on individual cunning and situational irony rather than promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology.
This episode features traditional casting with no apparent race or gender swaps of conventionally white roles. The narrative focuses on a domestic crime without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film 'Tales of the Unexpected: Lamb to the Slaughter' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate regarding queer identity or experiences within the narrative.
The film "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: Planet of the Slave Girls" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on science fiction adventure without engaging with transgender identity or experiences, resulting in no depiction to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This episode is an adaptation of Roald Dahl's short story "Lamb to the Slaughter." All main characters, including Mary Maloney and Patrick Maloney, retain their original genders as established in the source material.
The 1979 adaptation of Roald Dahl's short story features characters whose race was not explicitly defined in the source material but was implicitly understood within the context of the original work. The casting in this adaptation aligns with these implicit understandings, with no character portrayed as a different race than widely established.
