PREMISE:
On a fieldtrip to the desert, Los Angeles high-school teacher Ralph Hinkley (Katt) has a strange encounter with a UFO, piloted by mysterious aliens. The creatures from outer space give Ralph a special red suit -- a suit with magical powers that will only work for him. The suit is accompanied by an instruction booklet and he is told that his mission is to save the world. Hesitant at first, Ralph decides to give crime fighting a shot, teaming up with his girlfriend Pam (Sellecca) and an FBI Agent named Bill (Culp). However, there’s one small problem- Ralph loses the instruction booklet. But, like a true hero, Ralph takes on his new destiny, clumsily learning the suit’s special powers along the way.
