They are about to go camping, when Mrs. Bird accidentally activates a force field and they are shot off into outer space. They attempt to get back to Earth, when a family of four aliens arrives in the kitchen. Then everything goes wrong, when Mrs. Bird accidentally climbs into the aliens' spaceship, and Mr. and Mrs. Krryptyx accidentally activate the engines, thus separating Mrs. Bird's children and Mr. and Mrs. Krryptyx's children. This leads both the children and the adults on a series of mad adventures.
