Buck Rogers poses as the prisoner Valzhan and goes undercover to the penal colony on Zeta Minor to escape with the inmate Jen Burton. Colonel Deering is waiting for them in a town in the desert to bring them home. The diplomat Ted Warwick in Zeta Minor has unsuccessfully tried to release her to bring to Earth to testify against the criminal and smuggler Malary Pantera. Jen Burton is Pantera's girlfriend and assumed his crimes and is doing time in prison, but she does not know that he has another girlfriend, Majel, and does not intend to help her to escape. Dr. Huer discloses his plan to Warwick, but he does not know that the diplomat is a traitor and partner of Pantera. The prison break works perfectly well and Buck Rogers and Jen walks through the desert to meet Wilma. But the relentless android Hugo and Pantera are hunting them down.
"Unchained Woman" is another good episode of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". Prison break stories are generally great and this episode is no exception. First, because of Jamie Lee Curtis very young and beautiful in the role of the prisoner Jean Burton. But the indestructible android Hugo, years before The Terminator (but also years after Yul Brynner in Westworld) pursuing Buck Rogers and Jen Burton through the desert steals the show. Buck Rogers delivering his weapon to fight Hugo with bare hands is hilarious. The disappointment of Dr. Huer with his long-time friend Warwick is clear, but he never checks how the worker shot by the diplomat is. These failures are unforgivable. My vote is seven.
