Liberty Chew Chewing Tobacco presents! |

Stingray Sam is a 2009 space-western/musical serial film from the same creative team behind The American Astronaut.
Stingray Sam, a lounge singer on parole on Mars, finds himself invited kidnapped by his former partner-in-crime The Quasar Kid on a mission to rescue a girl child being held by Upper Class Twit Fredward. This provides an excuse for much social satire, Non Sequitur Scene songs, and dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing!
- Bounty Hunter: The Quasar Kid
- Bragging Theme Tune

Stingray Sam is not a hero |
|

- Ho Yay: Fredward's attraction to the Quasar Kid after the latter dances at his party. Then there's that Latex Space Suit he wears.

And so the plot begins to thicken...but not by much. |

- Offhand Backhand: When Stingray Sam swings his 'Asking Stick' at the back of the Quasar Kid's head, the latter blocks it without looking.

- Swiss Cheese Security: No-one dares see Fredward without an appointment, so his fortress isn't even guarded.
- What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic: Jerry the Carpenter.
