Missile to the Moon (1958)
Two escaped convicts are found hiding in a rocket ship built by a renegade inventor, who forces them to become the crew for a trip to the Moon. Also on board, as inadvertent stowaways, are his assistant and his secretary; and none of them are aware that the inventor is actually a Lunarian explorer sent to Earth by the dying Lunar civilization.

The film argues that sexually explicit materials corrupt young viewers and readers, leading to acts of violence and perverted attitudes regarding sex—including inclination toward homosexuality.
