Synopsis

The story begins on an alien planet where four blue-skinned music stars are performing the song "One More Time" to a similarly blue-skinned audience. At the end of the song, a team of humanoid troops infiltrate the concert and subdue everyone with gas. The band's male guitarist attempts to escape, but gets caught while running away. All four musicians are kidnapped and beamed aboard a large space vessel ("Aerodynamic").
