Sent to Earth to investigate civilization, an alien high commander and his quirky crew -- military officer Sally, information expert Tommy and transmitter Harry -- assume human identities to blend in. Although they possess superior intelligence, their naïveté about the human condition turns everyday events into farcical fun.
