Nick and Perry live in an underground control center, whose input is disguised as a dog kennel. They often interpret a human achievement or behavior wrong and keep them for a danger against which they must save their planet landlady Lucy or equal to the whole of humanity. In addition, Perry keeps trying to build various contraptions that either at least to send a distress signal there return to their home planet or dogma.
