The year is 1989, and the United States decides to send a married couple to live on the moon and operate a U.S. weather station. Peter Lattemore (Jerry Lewis) is the only man who is eligible for the position, but he is not married. In order for him to accept the position he must marry Eileen Forbes (Connie Stevens), who insists that they should be married in name only. The union is made official only forty-five seconds before launch.
When they arrive on the moon, the discover that there are two Russsians living nearby at a Soviet lunar station. The Russians, Anna Soblova (Anita Ekberg) and Igor Baklenikov (Dick Shawn) are suspected of trying to sabotage the U.S. station, but they are soon vindicated. Anna then tricks Igor into marrying him by declaring she is pregnant. Once they are married she tells him the truth, and the Americans, who are now in love themselves, declare their intentions to have a "moon baby". A race is soon on between the two couples to see who will be parents first.
