Meet Art, Ben and Joe. Three simple, aging senior citizens who like to swim in an unguarded swimming pool next door from the old folks home they live in. So one day when they go swimming, they feel energized and "ready to take on the world!" What they don't know is that the pool was recently bought by four alien Antereans incognito as humans. Art, Ben, Joe and their friends soon discover this and offer to help the Antereans return the cocoons back to Antarea and as a reward, they offer something magnificent.

Art Selwyn: [singing] Oh I'm in the mood for love. Ben Luckett: Will you listen to this guy, he'll be chasing them dogs 'til his dick runs off. Art Selwyn: Oh I'm too old for that sort of thing. Joseph Finley: Age isn't everything. Art Selwyn: Nope. Joseph Finley: Anyway it's all up here. Ben Luckett: Not all up there, Pal. Some of it's down here, which I might add is stiff as a board. Art Selwyn: You too? You got a boner too? Ben Luckett: Blue steel. Cat couldn't scratch it. Joseph Finley: I thought I was the only one. Art Selwyn: [singing] We're in the mood for love, simply because we've got one.
