Three 12 year olds receive technology from another planet that was supposed to be for an alien (disguised as an old guy called Copernicus who continuously tries to steal it all). The teenagers must avoid him in order to save the world from an alien invasion.

Dan Zembrosky is a charismatic 15-year-old from the Quirky Town of Iron Bay who suddenly receives strange and cryptic packages from an unknown alien planet. These packages come in various forms, ranging from mixers and underpants to weapons and far stranger forms of technology. Dan and his two best friends, Amanda Highborn and Troll Moko, use these alien gadgets to their own advantage, whether it be to make the soccer team, pass a test to avoid summer school or get out of trouble. However, with each small gain of abilities or coolness, there's generally a price to pay: An underwear that makes people very smart also overheats to the point where it detonates a school, and a cooking gizmo accidentally creates a meatball made of monsters. Regardless however, the trio must keep their mysterious contraptions out of the hands of Copernicus, an evil alien with the human guise of an elderly scientist who is plotting to use the different packages to take over the world. But they manage to muddle through somehow, and it's all smiles and one-liners at each episode's end.—Zyanbob
