Two aliens must catch many humans for some experiments in four stages: construction, hotel, military base and laboratory. To catch the humans the aliens use a sci-fi gun that paralyses the target for a number of seconds, during which time they destroy their memory so they cannot remember the incident. Once the humans are caught they are shaved and stripped of their clothes to be teleported to the UFO.(Storyline via IGDB)
