Not sure how some Germans would like the comparison, but it was about a
'Space Patrol'.

Sorry, all I can think of is the very grade B 'Queen of Outer Space';
even
as a child, I could only sit, and watch Zsa Zsa Gabor chew scenery in
horror...

Appears wasn't so much about the kidnappings as about role reversals;
ST:
TNG attempted the same with Angel One.

There have been plenty of 'Mars Needs Our Women', but I think Alan
Nourse's
'Raiders From the Rings' probably did the kidnap mates as well as any
I've
read.

Ok, I quit; the topic will soon run out of room for the 'was:'
extensions...
