Rod Allbright is working on his Science Fair project - a papier mache volcano - when a minature spaceship crashes through his window and lands right in his vat of papier mache! Inside is a crew of aliens searching for the intergalactic criminal, BKR, charged with the crime of cruelty. Reluctantly, Rod is deputized and becomes part of their team searching for BKR who happens to be Rod's archenemy and school bully, Billy Becker. Their secret mission to bring BKR to justice turns into a series of hilarious adventures with ray guns, androids, rocket packs and wacky aliens. Plenty of humor and action keep the story moving. Kids will also enjoy the illustrations.
