Plot[]
Etno is receiving a S.O.S. call from the Aliens' home planet, Zigma-B, so that finally the rescue team comes and picks them. It actually appears as a U.F.O. landing in the front garden. Full of emotional tears of joy in the aliens' eyes, the three unknown aliens in astronaut suits are here to rescue them. They took off their astronaut domes and it also appears to be three naughty, mischievous, rambunctious, reckless, despised, and unpredictable Venusian kids who devour and destroy the entire rest of the Aliens' house in no time.
In the end, the Venusian parents are disappointed to the three kids, forcing them to get back into their U.F.O., plus Etno received and modified lots of frequencies until a lot of U.F.O.-like "space-ships" which are heading toward Earth.
