A Martian teenager named Go Go is sent to Earth to pave the way for a larger invasion, but his landing goes wrong when the power-pack on his back malfunctions, leaving him suspended several feet above the ground. He is saved by the first Earthling he meets, an eccentric widow named Aunt Wendy, Elsa Lanchester. Aunt Wendy’s own life is tangled with trouble and peculiarities, and she soon finds herself the target of a scheming trio: J. Sinister Hulk, Jesse White; Chief Rotten Eagle, Buster Keaton; and Helga, a bikini-clad Swedish bombshell Bobbie Shaw Chance.
