An ICBM starts to launch itself. The alert soldiers are able to stop the launch - but the computers automatically start the countdown for Operation Spoilsport - a 1950s military system that waits 48 hours from a nuclear war's start, then sets off the remaining unlaunched missles, up to two dozen if there are that many left, and sends them to deliver a final knockout to the soviets. The military can't figure out how to stop Spoilsport from executing - and Ralph may be able to help, but he only knows of the problem because "they" - the aliens behind the suit - send him a message through an oddly-malfunctioning car radio.
Bill's assignment, to search for a missing rocket scientist, is suddenly declared off-limits by the military intelligence service. For Ralph to connect with the right military people, Bill figures on searching government databases on the rocket scientist, thinking the activity will draw the attention of security personnel - but Ralph is trapped in an elevator when they grab Bill. There's more going on here than meets the eye!
