Plot
The Stooges regale their infant progeny with a narrative of their extraterrestrial exploits. In this tale, they serve as assistants to Professor Jones on an interstellar voyage to the planet Sunev (a reversal of the spelling of Venus). Upon their arrival, they are cordially received by the planet's leader, the Grand Slitz of Sunev. However, it soon becomes evident that the Grand Slitz harbors malevolent intentions to resurrect prehistoric beings and conquer Earth. Professor Jones discerns the nefarious plot but is promptly subdued and restrained.
