A long, long time ago in a warped, warped galaxy...

After leaving the quiet planet Saturn, a group of goblins fly toward a distant speck. The speck gradually resolves into a simple, space garage.

Civil war strikes the galaxy, which is ruled by Roger Smith, a brown gnome capable of lust and even murder.

Terrified, a derelict gremlin known as Doris Plumb flees the Empire, with her protector, David Pitt.

They head for Moscow on the planet Lavalulu. When they finally arrive, a fight breaks out. Pitt uses his warped pistol to defend Doris.

Pitt and Gremlin Doris decide it's time to leave Lavalulu and steal a fire engine to shoot their way out.

They encounter a tribe of robots. Pitt is attacked and the gremlin is captured by the robots and taken back to Moscow.

Pitt must fight to save Gremlin Doris but when he accidentally unearths a carefree knife, the entire future of the warped, quiet galaxy is at stake
