After an event which appears to have been

A group of rebels, led by Col. Slater, seek to end the fascist rule. Willie (Jay Roberts, Jr.) and Danny (Chuck Jeffries) are two of those being held as troublemakers in prison. An alien, Sabrina, who has been observing the planet since the war, decides to visit Earth and unintentionally involves herself in the battle between the rebels and the fascists. She is captured by the security forces and is questioned by Oliver Quinn (John Saxon), who is the leader of the paramilitary. As she does not fully understand English, she is unable to answer any of Quinn's questions.

Sabrina ultimately ends up in prison with several of the rebels, including Willie and Danny. Sabrina explains, in broken English, that her people intercepted a NASA probe and misinterpreted the data on the probe as Earth having an idealist society. She had traveled to Earth hoping to find ways to improve her society.

In order to return home, Sabrina must get back to her landing site to use an energy cycle to return to her planet. After Sabrina, Willie, and Danny break out of the prison they head to the rebel's headquarters. Quinn is planning an assault on the rebel base.

Sabrina is captured by a bounty hunter, (Chris De Rose), who gives her to Quinn. She again escapes. As the rebels regroup and Sabrina gets their computers working, they stage an attack on the fascist forces. Sabrina returns home as the rebels vow to continue to fight.
