Summary:
Art, Ben and Joe are three simple, aging senior citizens who like to swim in the unguarded swimming pool next door from the old folks home they live in. One day they go swimming and feel energized and 'ready to take on the world!' What they soon discover is that the pool was recently bought by four alien Antereans incognito as humans. The men and their friends offer to help the Antereans return the cocoons and as a reward, the Antereans offer something magnificent.
