On the planet Miptor three alien janitors Rip Rayon, Squeege and Kidogo were cleaning a spaceship until their boss Admiral Lump checks in on them. His presence frightens Squeege so much that Squeege accidentally starts the engine launching the ship into outer space. The janitors then assume roles: Rip Rayon as Captain, Squeege as Pilot and Kidogo as Engineer. Joining them as information officer on their exploration of Earth, is Orb, a hovering metal orb that provides information to the aliens.
