Max Prine is proud of capturing wild animals for zoos and circuses but his wife is not so sure. Returning from a hunt one day he sees his wife being abducted by aliens. He follows but is caught in an electrified trap. He wakes up in a cage and his wife tells him the aliens are collecting animals, including them, to take back to their world. They escape and are chased relentlessly by the aliens up a hill. Max turns the tables on the aliens by causing a landslide. Four aliens survive and they quickly escape in their rocket. Max releases the animals and tells Lana he is changing his job.
