From the box:

Hilarious invasion from four extraordinary aliens.

The hilarious adventures of four ordinary aliens who crash land on Earth may give new dimension to the word “Moron.”

The aliens are quite human, and entirely uncurious about Earth and what they find there. Conversely, Earthling interest in them is so intense that they soon become international celebrities and pop superstars.

This could just be the beginning for the Morons From Outer Space.

The Most Outer Spaced-Out Comedy Ever!

When the president of the United States is kidnapped by aliens and replaced with a clone, the police call on Marshall “Dick” Dix of the International Security Force to help rescue him–and quickly, before they clone the rest of the world’s leaders.

With the fate of the world in his clumsy hands, Dix heads to the planet Vegan, a very strange place run by an evil doctor and inhabited by aliens who, having learned to speak English from watching television, all talk like different Hollywood movie stars. After engaging in some freaky lunar socializing, Dix joins forces with sexy officer Cassandra Menage and master of disguise Captain di Pasquale to rescue the saxophone-playing president. They return to Washington, D.C. and accomplish their mission of replacing the cloned president with the real president. Or did they?

Business is blooming at Mushnik’s Flower Shop. Customers are rushing in to see the exotic potted plant called Audrey II. But if they knew the truth, they’d rush right out. Audrey II is more vampire than vegetable. It’s a “mean, green mother from outer space” who’s about to fill Mushnik’s little shop with kooky horrors.
