Discarded as silly action figures for Jerry's 7th birthday, The Galactic Raiders - Bakko and Gant - magically come to life to investigate a mysterious sound coming from down the hall. Waking up their startled "Commander" Jerry, they take him and his 4-year old sister Nicole on a mission to save the neighborhood from what they believe is an invading force trying to steal Jerry's water from a leaking faucet - drop by drop.

Excited to go on a family beach outing, Jerry’s mother warns she will leave him with the babysitter if his room is not cleaned in ten minutes. But when Jerry turns on the vacuum (over the protest of the Raiders convinced this Monster Robot from outer space will suck up the neighborhood) Gant becomes ROBO VAC’S first victim. Jerry has to figure out how a vacuum works in order to rescue Gant AND get his room cleaned --with the help of Nicole and the Raiders -- all before ten minutes are up.

Jerry discovers a good use for his math when the Raiders find holes in the lettuce leaves he is picking for Dad. Raiders first blame Nicole but are quickly convinced this Munching Monster must be captured before he eats the whole garden. Raiders to the Rescue! Which results in all the lettuce accidently being ripped up. When the Munching Monster turns out to be garden slugs, Jerry is delighted to see one up close and tells them all about slugs. Dad is not quite as delighted when Jerry brings in all the lettuce, but promises to rid their garden of slugs.

Nicole is devastated to miss Jerry’s first sleep-out in the tree house (she is catching a cold) so her brother teaches her flashlight signals. But while Jerry is inside showing Nicole how, the Raiders spot spies silently flying around the tree house, blinking signals to each other, obviously planning an invasion. Raiders to the Rescue! The sleep-out is ruined as Jerry and the Raiders try to capture the invaders. Finally under a magnifying glass, they discover the magic of fireflies. But by then everyone (but Bakko) falls asleep.

Dad keeps interrupting Jerry’s (and the Raider’s) soccer game to remind him about finishing the jobs he started. But when Jerry forgets to put the garbage lid back on in the shed, strange sounds and shapes scare them. The Raiders are convinced it is the Gruel of Garbage! Raiders to the Rescue! Trying to scare the Gruel away they only make matters worse until they discover it is simply a mother raccoon trying to feed her baby. Jerry now understands why it was a good idea to finish putting the lid on that garbage!

Nicole and the Raiders feel increasingly ignored as Jerry becomes totally absorbed with a new fish he caught in their pond and named Herman. Feeling hurt, the Raiders take a closer look, discovering Herman has legs, which means he is not a fish -- he is a MONFIBIAN -- a monster that eats everything in sight! Raiders to the Rescue! They dump Herman back in the pond. Finding his beloved Herman gone, Jerry now feels terrible. He’s sorry he ignored them but explains Herman was actually a TADPOLE for his school project—and explains the life cycle of a frog. Now Nicole and the Raiders feel terrible. Finally the four of them catch Herman (or a look-alike) and his mother who is a jumping frog.
