==Plot== Planet Spaceball, led by the incompetent President Skroob, has squandered all of its fresh air. Skroob plans to steal the atmosphere from the neighboring planet of Druidia by forcing its ruler King Roland to give him the code to the shield surrounding it. Meanwhile, Roland's daughter Princess Vespa flees Druidia in order to avoid an [[arranged marriage]] to the [[narcolepsy|narcoleptic]] Prince Valium. The ship ''Spaceball One'', commanded by Colonel Sandurz and carrying Skroob's enforcer Dark Helmet, is dispatched to kidnap Vespa and her droid servant Dot Matrix. Mercenary Lone Starr and his "Mawg"<!-- do not edit to "mog", see discussion on talk page --> (half [[Human|man]], half [[dog]]) companion Barf, in their [[Winnebago Industries|Winnebago]] spaceship ''Eagle 5'', are contacted by crime boss Pizza the Hutt and his robotic minion Vinny to retrieve the money they owe them. Roland contacts Lone Starr and offers them a large reward if they bring Vespa and Dot back to Druidia. The pair retrieve Vespa and Dot and escape via light speed before they can be brought aboard ''Spaceball One''. Dark Helmet and a reluctant Sandurz use "Ludicrous Speed", but heavily overshoot the group when they try to follow. ''Eagle 5'' runs out of fuel and Lone Starr is forced to crash-land on a desert moon. The four escapees travel on foot for a while, but ultimately pass out in the relentless heat. They are found by the Dink-Dinks, a group of diminutive aliens in sparkly robes, and taken to the hidden cave of the sage Yogurt. He advertises the film's fictitious tie-in merchandise, then begins to instruct Lone Starr in the ways of a mysterious power known as the Schwartz (which Helmet can also control). Lone Starr and Vespa develop romantic feelings for each other, despite Vespa's insistence that she can only marry a prince, and Lone Starr shows Yogurt a medallion bearing an indecipherable message that was found with him when he was abandoned as a baby. The Spaceballs [[fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] by going through a [[VHS]] copy of the film to locate the ''Eagle 5''<nowiki/>'s whereabouts. Helmet disguises himself as Roland to lure Vespa and Dot out of the cave. As Lone Starr and Barf prepare to chase Helmet, Yogurt gives Lone Starr a ring that he can use to channel the Schwartz. Helmet extorts the air shield code from Roland by threatening to have a plastic surgeon reverse Vespa's nose job, then imprisons her and Dot. Lone Starr and Barf infiltrate the prison and break them out, and all four escape in ''Eagle 5'' while leaving their stunt doubles to be captured. ''Spaceball One'' transforms itself into a giant maid (''Mega-Maid''), opens the shield, and uses a vacuum cleaner to suck the air from Druidia. Lone Starr taps into the Schwartz to reverse the flow and return the air (saving Roland and the Druidians), then pilots ''Eagle 5'' into the head of ''Mega-Maid''. Lone Starr finds a self-destruct button, but Helmet interrupts and they engage in a [[duel]] using [[lightsaber]]-like weapons that extend from their Schwartz rings. Helmet steals Lone Starr's ring and drops it through a floor grate, but Lone Starr gets a telepathic message from Yogurt telling him that the power lies within him instead of the ring. As Helmet prepares to attack, Lone Starr levitates a mirror and reflects Helmet's blast, knocking him into the self-destruct button. Lone Starr returns to ''Eagle 5'' and pilots it to safety; Skroob, Helmet and Sandurz fail to reach any escape pods in time and discover the "cancellation button" is out of order as ''Mega-Maid'' explodes. Lone Starr and Barf discover on the news that Pizza the Hutt had locked himself in a limousine and ate himself to death, absolving them of the debt. The duo return Vespa and Dot to Roland, but take only enough money to cover their expenses. The remnants of the ''Mega-Maid'' crash-land on a nearby planet [[Planet of the Apes|populated by intelligent apes]], who express dismay at the stranded Spaceballs. After being scared by a singing [[xenomorph]] at a diner, Lone Starr and Barf find a final message from Yogurt hidden in a [[fortune cookie]], telling them that Lone Starr's medallion means he is a prince and can thus marry Vespa. The two return to Druidia just in time to stop her wedding to Valium, and Lone Starr announces his royal lineage and marries Vespa. The film ends with them riding off in ''Eagle 5'' and a message to the audience stating, "May the Schwartz Be With You".
