Hapless ’50s astronauts land on what we’re told is the 13th moon of Jupiter (which wasn’t discovered until 1974!) and find it’s another planet full of zoftig women who like to dance to Borodin’s Polovtian Dances at the drop of a needle. The popular planet-of-pulchritude formula seems to have originated with Abbott & Costello Go to Mars.
