Una terribile minaccia grava sul pianeta: l'invasione per nulla pacifica di una specie aliena. Il Pentagono decide di fronteggiarla con la sua arma segreta, la più potente: una collezione di mostri, per la verità piuttosto imbranati. Sono Insettosauro, Anello Mancante, il professor Scarafaggi. B.O.B. e... Susan, una semplice ragazza che, in seguito a un esperimento, ha raggiunto la statura di 30 metri. Saranno loro a scatenarsi in una battaglia epocale contro il titanico UFO invasore.
