He meets Bill Maxwell and they drive into the desert where the aliens give Ralph the suit and expect Bill to be his assistant. Unfortunately, the manual falls from the package and he has no idea how to use the suit. He does find out a few things by trial and error -- enough to defeat a plot against the President. w.

The story opens with a rehash by Bill of their adventures. Ralph has been identified and made numerous appearances on talk shows (Dick Cavett, the Tonight Show, etc). The aliens are upset (remember they took the suit from Jim who got greedy) and tell Ralph that he must find a replacement. The requirements are strict and he turns down several applicants. Finally he selects a young woman who is very concerned with the state of the world. She thinks it is funny, but soon takes it seriously, finds a cause and zooms off to save the whales and a little more. Strangely, Bill is to be her associate as he was Ralph's. w. Babs Greyhosky d.
