Penny and J.W. first go break into the laboratory of Dr. Mobius Jefferson (Pat Morita) to find his invention he plans to save the world with. In the meantme, Dr. Jefferson has been abducted by an alien who intends to put humans in an intergalactic zoo.
Penny and J.W. arrive at the home of the Heller family, who the alien has infiltrated. The kids have taken a powerful remote that the alien has used to shrink the kids parents, and use it on the alien. Now Penny and J.W. attempt to take the remote from the kids Joey (Brock Pierce) and Cindy (Brittney Lee Harvey). A struggle ensues and J.W. and Penny are kicked out of the second story window of the house.
