Luis, is somewhat of an outcast at school. He lives alone with his father, who is too busy with his hunt for extra-terrestrial life to have time for him. When the school principal tries to send Luis away to boarding school--he must come up with a plan to escape. Luckily, help is on its way from a faraway galaxy--three lovable aliens happen to crash their UFO right near his house. The aliens have their sights set on an item from the home shopping network and in exchange for Luis' help, they agree to try and set things right and keep him from being sent away.
