Valerie enlists the help of her boss,

Valerie learns that
Ted is having an affair and she kicks him out of the house. Soon, while lounging around in her bikini, a spaceship from the planet Jhazzalan crash-lands in her swimming pool. Curious,
Valerie befriends the ship's inhabitants -- three horny aliens covered in fur named
Mac (

Whiploc (
