When Ben's friend Jason answers a newspaper ad for a gag gift, extraterrestrials land a spaceship in the neighborhood. Ben, Jason, and their friend Paloma plan to visit Iku's home planet until Ben realizes the alien's intentions are not friendly. Illustrated with overly dark artwork, the story line isn't fully developed and the pacing occasionally lags.
