Plot summary
Go Go, a teenage intelligence officer from Mars, is ordered to Earth ahead of a Martian invasion. His power pack malfunctions on the way down, leaving him hanging above the ground until Aunt Wendy, an eccentric widow, comes to his rescue. Her neighbor J. Sinister Hulk works with Chief Rotten Eagle and a Swedish woman named Helga to get at Aunt Wendy's million-dollar inheritance. Elsewhere Eric von Zipper leads a motorcycle gang that has no use for beach girls and their surfer boyfriends. Connie, who has a crush on the volleyball-obsessed Big Lunk, gets no response from him, so she turns her attention to Go Go.
