In deep space a mysterious spaceship is home to an evil alien overlord named Gallaxhar who is alerted to the presence of quantonium, a powerful energy source on Earth.

However, the probe goes on a destructive rampage, headed straight for San Francisco. At the Golden Gate Bridge, the monsters work together to defeat the probe. Susan returns home with her new friends and reunites with her family. However, the monsters alienate themselves from the humans due to their inexperience with social situations.
