Synopsis[]
Johnny's kidnapped by a pair of beautiful female aliens, who believe him to be the perfect human specimen. Has Johnny's wish of being the object of beautiful women finally come true?
Plot Summary[]
Johnny makes his way to Pops' diner for fries and cute girls, ultimately setting his sights on an attractive brunette -- Johnny goes over to her table and starts flexing and flirting with her. She's clearly uninterested, and after telling him that she needs to go "powder her nose," she uses the opportunity to escape in her car. Shortly after that, Johnny's approached by a pair of beautiful humanoid aliens, who ask if he'd like to go out with them. While somewhat taken aback by their forwardness, the meathead eagerly goes with them -- the two female aliens take Johnny aboard their flying saucer and back to their home planet of Estron-3, which is inhabited by a female-only race of beautiful humanoid aliens.
Not long after Johnny leaves with the two Estronians, Carl enters the diner -- Pops approaches him and explains what happened to Johnny, the two ultimately realize that Johnny's been "kidnapped" by beautiful space aliens. Now on a mission to rescue their friend, Pops and Carl start building a machine that will rip the space-time continuum and suck Johnny into a wormhole that leads back to Earth.
The two aliens bring Johnny to Estron-3's Hall of Science. They meet with the planet's head doctor, who explains to Johnny that she's going to be conducting a series of physical tests to test his tolerance for pain. Johnny's first sent to a room that looks like The Dating Game set, but the doctor explains that it's a reflex and reaction time test. A series of boxing gloves come from the flower and heart decorations on the walls, and Johnny dodges them well at first. But, when he gets distracted looking at the doctor, the boxing gloves start hitting him. After a few more tests of endurance, the doctor gives Johnny the final test: opening a jar of pickles. He passes with ease, and all the Estronians cheer. The doctor says that Johnny just needs to be vaccinated, and the tests will conclude. Johnny rolls up his sleeve, but the doctor slams him onto his stomach. A giant needle machine approaches his rear, and Johnny is painfully given his shots.
After this, he's brought before the Queen of Estron-3. The Queen says that she has been studying Johnny during his time on their planet, and considers him to be a perfect example of a human male. She admits that she does not know much about humans but asks if Johnny would like to be King of Estron-3. A few minutes later, a crowned and caped Johnny is escorted to his royal quarters by his new attendants. The room has everything Johnny could want, even a massive TV. But, when he turns it on, there is only static. He asks if they have cable. The Estronians are confused, and Johnny explains cable in his own way. The aliens understand and set about getting cable to Johnny's TV. Once it is plugged in, the screen shows a Braveheart-esque film, with a handsome, Mel Gibson-like actor playing the lead. The Estronians are curious about this new human male. Johnny, unimpressed with the man, explains that he is a "pretty boy" actor. The aliens all swoon and fawn over the actor, and Johnny tries getting their attention, asserting that he is "king of the space babes." Turning on Johnny, the doctor presses a button that drops Johnny through a chute and into a pod that fires him back towards Earth.
Back on Earth, Carl and Pops are finished with their machine. Pops activates it, with Johnny's pod at same time crashing towards Earth and landing into the ground behind the diner. Carl happily exclaims that he and Pops saved Johnny. Johnny responds that he didn't want to be saved. Pops asserts that the "beautiful space aliens" will never harm him again, but Johnny bitterly says he hates Pops and Carl.(though in reality, Pops and Carl did not send Johnny back to Earth and would've at best intercepted the pod after the Estronians had already ejected it.)
