== Plot == Arif makes a living by selling carpets and fake images of U.F.Os. One day, he is abducted by aliens disguised as Prince Charles along with other humans. This abduction is carried out by planet G.O.R.A's security chief Logar Trihis as a grudge for the rape of an ancestor's colleague who visited Earth in 1789. On the spaceship, Arif comes across a hologram image of Garavel who tells Arif that he can sense the Force within him (a spoof reference to Star Wars) and instructs Arif to look for him.
