) has finally returned to Earth and he's been given a mission - stop the show he used to work for, "The Search for Intelligent Life", from proving the existence of extraterrestrials. Unfortunately, the program is now the #1 series on TV, and Al's former coworkers aren't anxious to see him debunking their bread and butter. Still, he signs back on, and starts interviewing potential abductees. Soon, a pattern begins to develop. People believe. Al scoffs. But we do learn that aliens are indeed randomly taking victims off the street, the better to serve their sick obsession with the nonstop butt reaming. But unless he agrees to carry on with the plan, Al's facing a return to the mothership - and another date with the derriere device. And that's one hook up he hopes to avoid.

Background

The film is most notable as being the feature film directorial debut of Scott Grenke and the return of one of the actors which made his early short films popular, Babette Bombshell. When Grenke was approached to direct he immediately pursued the 300lb drag queen to portray the alcoholic and abusive mother in his film. Once attached Babette took on the duel role of both the intended female character and a space alien in a noteworthy probing scene.
