## Plot

The episode starts with Popee holding a lit fire-breathing torch and a fuel bottle, as he takes some in his mouth ready to start. Kedamono watches while sitting on top of a cage. Popee then spits out the fuel towards the flame, making a large stream of fire follow. Kedamono applauds, impressed and entertained. Popee laughs, as he watches Kedamono applaud for him. Kedamono stops and stares in shock and nervousness, as Popee starts drinking out of a massive jerry can full of fuel, ready to perform the trick again. He starts juggling two lit torches, as Kedamono continues to watch in curiosity. Popee catches the sticks with his arm, and spits the fuel towards the flames again, causing bigger flames. Kedamono applauds again, even more impressed. Popee continues to juggle the sticks, before he accidentally trips backwards on the jerry can, and loses his balance. In doing so, a stick lands in his mouth, and he accidentally swallows it. His face turns bright red. Kedamono walks up to him, checking if he's ok, before realizing that the flames are about to make him erupt. Suddenly, flames explode out of Popee's butt, rocketing him forward quickly. He runs into a wall, and goes launching into the night sky. Kedamono watches in shock, as Popee disappears. Kedamono giggles slightly, finding the situation funny.

Kedamono sits in a chair while watching TV, and eating chicken legs. Popee's flames have stopped, as he has reached space, and is still traveling upwards. He suddenly hits into a UFO, breaking it, and causing its alarms to go off. The force causes Popee to travel back down to earth, along with the damaged UFO. Popee lands back on Earth in Wolf Zurkus as Kedamono glances at him, more fixated on his TV show. The UFO suddenly crashes next to Popee, as it gets Kedamono's attention. He turns and stares in shock, before getting up and dragging the injured Popee away from the UFO. Popee regains consciousness, only to find the door of the UFO open. Kedamono drops Popee in fear, and slowly shuffles away from the UFO to hide. Popee gets up and watches in surprise as an alien's arm is seen inside the UFO. Popee shakes in fear, as the alien steps out. Popee's face turns red again, as fire erupts from his mouth, towards the alien. Kedamono watches in shock, hiding behind his chair. The alien falls out of his UFO, on fire and burning. Popee continues to shoot fire from his mouth onto the alien again, as Kedamono watches, crying in fear.

The scene cuts to Popee and Kedamono repairing the UFO. Popee is taping up the cracks, and Kedamono is hammering. Popee stops to stretch, before the tape comes loose. He smacks the UFO in frustration, before the alien points a gun to him. He motions Popee to continue working, and so he does. As Kedamono is hammering nails into the UFO, he accidentally swings too hard, and the UFO starts to break into pieces. Popee and the alien watch, in terror. Kedamono ducks for cover, as a piece hits him on the head, making him cry. The alien angrily throws his gun at the ground, before freaking out. He runs away from the situation, and gets on his knees in despair. Popee and Kedamono look up at the night sky, as they think of an idea. They both look at each other and nod in agreement, as they grab a lit torch, and the jerry can.

They pin the alien down and force him to swallow the fuel and the torch. When he does, they back away and watch, as the alien sits up, confused. The alien starts to shake, before flames erupt out of his butt and blast him up into space. Popee and Kedamono wave goodbye to him, as he disappears.
