### Episode

A television show starts to play which features the dancing silhouette of what looks like Miss Peach, but later ends up being Mr. Lightbulb in a Miss Peach costume. Doctor H., who was watching the program, turns off the TV and states that the show is boring since Miss Peach is not in it. The TV suddenly switches back on and Mr. Lightbulb appears again, this time without a costume, to say that the TV is controlled by his station and can't be turned off. When Doctor H. tries to switch the channel, Mr. Lightbulb cuts in again, saying he can't switch the stations either. Smart S. reminds him that he shouldn't have bought a new TV.

Happy S. rapidly flips through the television channels, but the remote is swiped from him by Sweet S., who in turn has the remote swiped from her by Careless S.; all the Supermen start to fight over the remote until they accidentally break the TV. Mr. Lightbulb appears on the little glass shards of the TV screen anyway, begging the group to watch his programs since his station is low on money. Mr. Lighbulb enters the room through the broken TV screen and asks if the Supermen want to make their own show; Happy, Sweet, and Careless agree to the deal, thinking it sounds fun, but Smart thinks otherwise. When the three go to the TV studio, they are told that the new show they're filming needs three hosts and that once they become regulars, their paychecks will be increased into ten pieces. Big M. suddenly shouts at a studio official, mentioning he promised him and Little M. ten pieces of cookies.

An alien UFO lands on Planet Xing, and when it lands the silhouettes of Big M. and Little M. emerge from its door. The lighting turns off to reveal this is part of the TV show's filming process, and Mr. Lightbulb tells them that they aren't wearing their masks and just wasted some of his camera film. Miss Peach walks in wearing a cast on her leg and reminds her boss that the camera he's using doesn't use film. Mr. Lightbulb adds that it's a futuristic camera made for when Planet Xing is invaded by aliens. Mr. Lightbulb catches Big M. and Little M. goofing around with their costumes and commands them to stop it, then going on to state they don't look like convincing aliens. Big M. tells him he and his buddy are aliens, but Mr. Lightbulb thinks they're "too weird" to be aliens.

Miss Peach warns her boss that another show is beating them in ratings. Everyone in the room takes a look at the show that's beating their ratings, which is about Planet Xing invading other planets. In the show, Planet Xing robots fight a war against aliens. Sweet S. recognizes Smart S. when he appears at one point in the program; afterwards, some Planet Xing robots pull one of the aliens out of a rock he's stuck in, and his alien mask comes off to reveal Doctor H. is an actor in the program as well. Mr. Lightbulb is furious that the program is stealing their ratings, then explains that he bought his futuristic camera to be considered a credible broadcaster.
In Mr. Lightbulb's TV show, Big M. and Little M. are in a ship that crash-lands on the ground, and they get up and make handsome faces at the screen. Mr. Lightbulb stops them, explaining they should be playing dead. Little M. wonders what why they're playing dead and asks Big M. for the show's storyline; Big M. thinks their characters pretend to be weak and then make their move. Mr. Lightbulb throws a script at Little M. and tells everyone to get ready to keep filming, and Big M. and Little M. start to play dead.

Big M. wakes up in a hospital carrier alongside Little M., who asks when they attack. Big M. spots a knife on a nearby table and decides to start the attack, going with Little M. to grab the knife. The Supermen walk in, and Happy S. shouts that he won't let the aliens win. Mr. Lightbulb stops him, asking everyone to stay in script and reiterating that Happy S. is playing a doctor, Careless S. is an assistant, Sweet S. is a nurse, and Big M. and Little M. are dead alien bodies and shouldn't move. Mr. Lightbulb gets Big M. and Little M. into position and gives Happy S. the directive to dissect them, which comes as a shock to the Supermen and to the actors playing the dead aliens. Mr. Lightbulb tells them not to worry since it's all fake and they're just using it for a news report, and Happy S. notices the scalpel he was given is a rubber fake, but the Supermen assert they came to be hosts and refuse to keep acting. Mr. Lightbulb takes up the role of the doctor character himself, and as the Supermen leave, Sweet S. realizes Happy S. has the fake scalpel and wonders what Mr. Lightbulb is using.

Mr. Lighbulb accidentally stabs Big M. in the bottom with the scalpel, realizing too late he has the wrong one and putting the actor in a lot of pain when he removes it. While running around in pain, Big M. drops the Black Jewel, which touches the studio camera and turns it into a monster. Big M. gets angry at Mr. Lightbulb, who orders Miss Peach to get the camera rolling since he wants to use this scene in his show to show the aliens coming back from the dead and planning to invade. The camera monster grabs Mr. Lightbulb, berates him for smashing its dreams of recording honest and truthful news reports, and then throws him to the side; then, it grabs the hospital beds (one of which still has Little M. tied to it) and throws it, but Happy S. catches them both. The monster then grabs Big M. and Mr. Lightbulb, and Happy S. is about to transform when Miss Peach cuts him short.

Miss Peach does a news report on the fake "invasion" going on, and the Supermen have a laugh. Miss Peach tells her boss that this is the highest ratings they have ever gotten for their station, and Doctor H., who is watching from his house on the TV (which has had its screen taped back together) states he thinks this is interesting. The nearby Smart S., with an alien costume in his hands, gives a smile.
