The show is set in the distant future when Earth and its surrounding planets are united in peace under the rule of Ming the Merciless, an evil emperor who seeks to dominate the entire universe. Flash, a young athlete and adventurer, along with his companions Dale Arden and Hans Zarkov, are suddenly hurled into space when Ming launches a devastating attack on Earth.

The voice acting in the show is also impressive, with a talented cast lending their talents to bring the characters to life. Robert Ridgely voices Flash with a combination of bravado and earnestness, making him a likable and heroic protagonist. Vic Perrin is menacing and calculating as Ming, the show's primary antagonist, while Bob Holt provides a steady presence as Zarkov. Alan Oppenheimer lends his distinctive voice to a variety of supporting characters, including Prince Vultan and the Shark Men, and Diane Pershing brings a sultry and seductive tone to Queen Azura.
