The ring leads Calvin and his friend Kathy to several weird men dressed in black suits, who are certainly not normal human beings. An encounter with a ten-foot hairy monster, a wild ride in an alien spaceship...will Calvin and Kathy ever find out who the black suits are and why they are on earth?

Calvin and Kathy are sure they have come across more bumbling alien tourists whose equipment has malfunctioned. Then they meet Dandelion, who seems to be an ordinary yellow cat. Actually she's a friendly alien—an interstellar seret agent—and she's in East Gradwohl to stop her enemies from interfering with Earth. But when Calvin's mother is kidnapped by the evil aliens, all of Dandelion's superior powers suddenly malfunction. How can Calvin and Kathy rescue his mother from these horrible creatures?
