"Arnie is shocked when he hears his neighbor Loretta Schmoretta tell news reporters that she was the victim of an alien abduction. And not just any aliens--alien doughnuts from outer spastry. Arnie thinks this is a ridiculous story, that is, until he gets abducted. Arnie must think fast in order to rescue his fellow doughnuts and the townspeople from the alien invaders"--
