However, one of the townsfolk manages to send a distress call and Astro Investigation and Defence Service sends out The Boys to investigate. The team consists of four members: Barry (the [[Straight Man]] of the group), Frank, Ozzy (a trigger-happy duo), and Derek (a sociopath with a slight drooling problem). [[Hilarity Ensues]] as The Boys clash with the aliens; Derek goes berserk, a charity collector Giles is abducted and The Boys have to clean up the whole mess.
