Peter Galaxy and his sidekick, Dr. Simon, used to be big stars on the radio. Now they’re just two retired actors playing cards on the front porch and riding herd on the grandchildren. But can these two old-timers find work for three hundred billion illegal aliens? Yeah, we wondered about that question too.

We’ve always wondered what would happen if two of our favorite worlds were to collide. When Star Wars veteran and Dr. Who alumnus the late Michael Sheard joined David Ossman of the Firesign Theatre (and the voice of Mark Time himself) on stage, we found out: the universe got funnier. That’s valuable information.

Pangborn arrives unexpectedly on a lighthouse in space, startling the caretaker and his wife. Then Ripley shows up, looking for Pangborn. Then Ripley’s father, space pirate Captain Squid, arrives looking for his daughter, and he doesn’t like finding Pangborn there too.

Soon they all discover that the lighthouse is about to be smacked by an approaching passenger space cruiser unless they can do something. A hot bath is suggested.

Will they all escape destruction? Will they find out who the father of Ripley’s baby is? How much of this can actually happen in only a half-hour show? Only the listener knows for sure.
