A deadly plague is ravaging the Earth. Flash Gordon learns that Ming the Merciless is behind it. With Dr. Alexis Zarkov and Dale Arden, he travels to the planet Mongo to find a cure. An antidote is discovered, but Ming captures Zarkov and Dale. Flash returns to Earth with the antidote, then returns to Mongo to free them, eventually ending Ming’s reign.
