Meet the Metaliens. Their quest: To find the Kleptonite Ball

Overview

The Metaliens, alien robots intent on galactic domination, encounter a major setback.

Having materialised in a bar, the Ball variously functions as a Christmas tree decoration, a bathroom ornament, and a fortune-teller's prop. The Metaliens must retrieve the Kleptonite Ball if their mission is ever to succeed. And that's when their problems really begin…
