Plot

The episode begins in the Milky Way Galaxy, where a spaceship is seen flying towards Earth. As it lands, Meltman tries to lead it to the perfect landing spot, only to have it land on top of him. Stinky doesn't trust the aliens, but The Chief tells the Action League that he expects them all on their best behavior, as the future of intergalactic peace is in their hands. Several aliens exit the spaceship, including Zantak, their leader, who says that they come in peace. Stinky thinks Zantak is going for his laser and fires his spear gun against The Chief's wishes at Zantak, killing him.

After the untimely death of Zantak, The Chief asks Stinky if there's anything he wanted to say to the aliens about the situation, so Stinky apologizes to them, who reply that they forgive them and erase Zantak's untimely death from their memories, as their visit to Earth is an important historic adventure. To prove that they can be friendly to the aliens, the League decides to give them a tour of their house, showing them the wonders of Earth's life.

In the kitchen, Thundergirl shows one of the aliens a juicer, who is curious to know what you do with it. Thundergirl tells him to push the carrot in, so it will come out as juice. While the alien pushes in the carrot, Thundergirl pushes the switch that turns the juicer on. Unfortunately, the alien is inside the juicer and accidentally gets juiced along with the carrot, being poured into a drinking glass. (Of course, a disgusted Thundergirl refuses to drink the juice that comes out.)

In the bathroom, Stinky shows another alien, who is carrying a camera, the toilet, which he explains that a lot of Earth business is done in. The alien is impressed and wants Stinky to take a picture of him, so Stinky holds the camera and tells him to step back a little. The alien does so, but accidentally falls into the toilet and gets flushed down. Stinky is not happy with the situation and knows The Chief won't be, either, when he learns.

Outside, The Flesh is on a lawn chair, showing another alien the wonders of tanning. Unfortunately, the alien he's with gets a terrible sunburn and melts.

Meanwhile, Meltman asks the alien still on the ship if he can move it so he can get his legs back. The Chief returns to the spaceship and apologizes to another alien, who has gotten a really bad electrical shock from a light socket he showed him, admitting that he should have warned him about the electrical system. The burnt alien refuses to forgive him and tells the rest of the aliens that the Earthlings are not their friends and the Earth is their enemy. He then announces that they must destroy the Earth, and the surviving aliens get back in their spaceship to prepare for its doom. The Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky meet up with The Chief to find out that the aliens have commenced the Earth's destruction sequence by pointing their laser at it. As the countdown begins, The Narrator asks the viewers if the aliens will successfully destroy the Earth or if the League will stop them, then tells them to stay tuned for the second part.

In part two, the aliens continue to count down. Stinky accepts that The Chief was right about the aliens being evil, and Meltman tells the rest of the League to shield him from the killer ray. The Flesh, having heard the words, "Killer Ray" from Meltman, decides to give himself a tan with his tanning mirror. The aliens fire their laser, which deflects off of The Flesh's mirror and onto their ship, destroying it for good. The League cheer as they have won the battle against the aliens and decide to go out for lunch. The Chief thanks The Flesh for saving the world with his tanning mirror and then apologizes to Stinky, as he was right about the aliens being evil. Stinky answers that that it was no problem. After all, they showed the aliens what happens to them when they mess with Earth.

Unfortunately, that alien spaceship wasn't alone; many other alien spaceships, whose inhabitants have found out about what happened, fire their lasers at Earth, destroying it as the episode ends.

"Dateline: The Milky Way Galaxy. A mysterious vessel makes it way

"...towards a familiar planet. As the alien craft descends..."

"...the Action League expertly guides it to a pinpoint landing."

"A little left. Good. Now right..."

The alien ship then lands on Meltman, crushing him.

"Nice catch, Melty."

"I don't know, mates. I don't care for aliens. They're foreign." "Can it, Stinky! The future of intergalactic peace is in our hands."

"I want you on your best behavior."

"People of Earth, brothers, we come in peace."

"Look out, he's going for his laser!" "Stinky, NO!!!"

Stinky's harpoon kills the alien leader, Zantak.

"So much for first impressions."

"We find our heroes facing an intergalactic embarrassment, thanks to the trigger finger of one Stinky Diver."

"Stinky, isn't there something you've wanted to say to the aliens?" "...sorry."

"Erase. Forget. Brothers, this historic event important. We overlook the loss of Zantak, our beloved leader."

"And so, redoubling their diplomatic efforts..."

"...the League introduces their guests to the wonders of Earth civilization." "This is called a juicer."

"Primitive. Juicer. What is?"

"You just push that carrot in, and it comes out juice. Try it!"

The alien is squeezed down the juicer.

"Ewww! I'm not drinking that!"

"Okay, um, brother, this is where a lot of business is done on Earth!"

"Primitive. Smelly. Take picture." "Yeah, whatever."

"Stand back, mate."

"Further... little more... almost got it..."

The alien is flushed down the toilet, much to Stinky's dismay.

"Well, there goes my year-end bonus..."

"This is the greatest wonder of all, Mr. Alien. A sun reflector. More cocoa butters, little fella?"

Sadly, the alien had been melted by the sun.

"Say, any chance of you guys moving your ship so I could get my legs back?"

"Sorry about that light socket, Brother Alien. I should've warned you about our electrical system." "Apology not accepted."

"Aliens, return to ship!"

"Earthlings not brothers! Earth enemy! Prepare to destroy!"

The aliens return to their ship to prepare for the Earth's destruction.

"What's up, Chief?"

"Blast it! These aliens are as touchy as a polecat on a power saw!"

"Commence destruction sequence! 10, 9, 8..."

"Boy they are moody." "Is this a close encounter of the last kind? Can the Action League defer a doomsday device? Stay tuned for the action-annihilating conclusion of Action League Now!"

"An alien delegation squeezed, sewered, sauteed! As the League runs out of diplomatic solutions..."

"...time runs out on the entire planet." "9, 8, 7..."

"I don't want to say "I told you so," but I told you so."

"Somebody shield me from the killer ray."

"Killer rays? Goodie!"

"Destroy!"

The laser is deflected from the Flesh's tanning mirror...

...destroying the alien ship in the process.

"Game over, space scum! We win!"

"Hooray!" "Take that, alien!" "Yeah!"

"Let's eat lunch."

"Good work, Flesh! Your savage tan saved the entire planet! We thank you, Earth thanks you." "I thank me."

"I guess I owe you an apology, Stinky."

"No worries, Chief. We showed those jokers what happens when you mess with Earth!"

"...lead commander, the Leader. Commence hostility! Destroy!" "The end."
