HIGH NOON in outer space. Connery is the marshal on Io, Jupiter's third moon, home for a mining colony. His investigation of some strange outbreaks of violence uncovers a plot involving the managing company, led by Boyle, and a drug that increases productivity but has dangerous side
effects. Connery wants to bring the culprits to justice, but no one else on Io wants anything to do with the battle, so he is left to face company henchmen alone. Connery and Boyle are fine, but the wholesale lifting of HIGH NOON's plot (there's even an on-screen digital readout periodically
displayed, counting down the minutes until the big confrontation) certainly undermines interest....
