  • Watchlist

A group of aliens has come to Earth to learn about its population, customs, et cetera. To avoid detection, they have taken on human form, which gives them human emotions, physical needs, et cetera, without the understanding of what they mean nor the inhibitions normally present in humans. Their leader takes the position of a college professor, their military expert as his sister, their intelligence expert, supposedly the oldest of group, takes the form of his teenage son. The uninhibited reactions turn everyday events into unusual situations.

To Mary's chagrin, her rich and spoiled sister Renata is donating a new wing to the university museum. Mary explains to Dick and Nina how much she loathes her sister and Dick thinks up a plan to pay Renata back for all the grief she caused Mary. Meanwhile, with the money that self-proclaimed philanthropist Renata gave them, Sally and Harry buy some new furniture and turn the Solomons' living room into a youth center. As it turns out, Sally and Harry's methods of handling a group of teenagers are a bit unorthodox, to say the least.
