Midway between planets, Shep Ramsey's (Hulk Hogan) ship breaks down. As he waits for its repair, he rents a room in Charlie Wilcox's (Christopher Lloyd) house and endures -- and must get used to -- the everyday trivialities of life in suburbia. But when two villainous bounty hunters come to town and threaten this peaceful suburban life, Shep convinces Charlie to help him defeat the evildoers.
