- Joe accidentally takes a picture of a paper plate, which Moe and Larry submit to a magazine as an authentic picture of a flying saucer. Moe and Larry collect a big prize, but when the picture is proven to be a fraud, they're hauled off to jail. Joe leaves the boys for a camping trip, only to meet two genuine and beautiful aliens from the planet Zircon, who allow him to photograph them. Joe then gets a picture of a real spaceship, and this time he gets the fame and fortune, while Moe and Larry wind up in a sanitarium.—Mitch Shapiro <mshapiro@a.crl.com>
- Joe lives with his drunken, verbally abusive aunt (Gail Bonney) and his cousins Moe and Larry. Joe is always pushed around by the three, so he decides to go on a long-awaited camping trip, with Moe and Larry in tow. While Joe takes a snapshot of a squirrel in a tree, he notices something in the picture that ruined it, but Moe and Larry discover the object may be a flying saucer, so they take the picture to the Facts and Figures magazine publisher and win $10,000. But one night, during a celebration, the angry magazine publisher (Emil Sitka) and a detective arrive to tell the flying saucer is nothing but a paper plate with food on it. Moe and Larry confront Joe and tell the two men who really took the photo, but Joe foolishly says they did, causing Moe and Larry to be hauled off to jail and Joe getting kicked out of the house by his aunt.
While wallowing in misery camping out in the woods, Joe actually spots a real flying saucer touching down to earth. Two beautiful aliens come out to greet Joe and gets a real picture of the flying saucer before it takes off. Back at home, Moe and Larry come back from jail, stating they will go back for keeps unless they return all the money they won. Joe arrives and tells everyone the good news and they don't believe them, but Joe gets the last laugh when Joe wins fame and fortune and the attention of the two beautiful aliens during a celebratory parade, while a disgruntled, straitjacketed Moe and Larry watch from their window of a sanitarium.
