Off he goes to a California beach community as a swinging bachelor with a girlfriend, Nora (Salome Jens), and a butler, John (Wesley Addy). All goes well–until he learns that the people in his community are all "Seconds," and he is trapped in his new world.

A drifter, Nada (Roddy Piper), finds a special pair of sunglasses that allows him to see the "real" world. One such sight is that, supposedly, human beings are, in fact, aliens behind a massive plot to subdue the humans. Can he do something about it? A poor make-up job on the aliens is but one of the flaws of this film; however, it's good fun. From the mouth of our hero: "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum."
