Synopsis for "Bring on the Bombu!"

The alien conqueror of Oobagon VIII, Bombu, reports to his high commander. The commander wants Bombu to attempt a second conquest of the planet Earth. Bombu uncomfortably details the circumstances behind his first failed attempt, but the commander sends him on the mission anyway.

Bombu appears in the middle of a major metropolitan city, threatening to decimate the world with the power of his Wallah Wallah Bing Bang. Two police officers, fearing that Bombu might actually pose a bit of a threat, increase the power setting on their tasers and take him down. Bombu is arrested and thrown into a county jail. Afforded the benefit of a single telephone call, Bombu contacts his high commander to report that his second attempt to conquer the Earth met with the same level of success as his first attempt.
