Francie goes to Roswell, N.M., to be maid of honor at her former college roommate's wedding, although her real objective is to try to talk Serena out of marrying a UFO kook. Yet no sooner does she get to Roswell than she is snatched by an actual space alien who looks like sagebrush with multiple octopus-like tentacles.
Her fears subside as she begins to realize the alien does not want to harm her but rather needs her help. Before long four others are abducted by Indy, the name given to the alien because he uses those tentacles like Indiana Jones uses his whip.
Indy learns English by watching western movies, leading to many hilarious conversations. One of his favorite expressions becomes, "MIGHTY GRATEFUL MA'AM." Indy's mission is to find a missing friend, but he feels so bad about Francie missing the wedding that he insists on going to a Las Vegas wedding chapel so that she can marry Wade, one of the men he has abducted. He seems to know before either Wade or Francie that they are in love.
Indy and his human crew are chased through the West by both the FBI and other aliens. This may not be classic science fiction, but it is all outrageous fun.
