Synopsis:
An alien comes to Earth and raids a swimming pool and a laundry plant. The Challs try to stop the alien but are paralyzed by the alien’s weapon. Cosmo, the Challs pet, is able to rescue them using his special powers.

The alien is able to get away and when he meets the Challs again he is ready to deal with Cosmo. He kidnaps June and leaves. Cosmo recovers and frees the Challs, who then deduce the alien’s next target.

At a chlorine plant, the alien and the Challs meet again. This time the alien uses a powerful robot against them which is powered by the chlorine. The Challs stop the alien and outlast the robot until it runs out of power. Then they send both alien and robot back to their own planet.
