As he adopts the persona of a strongman entertainer, he grapples with the allure of human femininity and the distinct differences between the sexes on Earth and Venus. The protagonist's fascination leads to a series of entanglements with women, authorities, and ultimately results in a dangerous confrontation with the FBI.
