Synopsis

The animation opens on a Blacktron base on Planet Lego IV. A Blacktron pilot lands his Star Rider spaceship and is given a device he uses to disassemble his spaceship and suck the pieces up. A danger alarm goes off, and an astronaut from a Radar Patrol gives the pilot a report on a Space Police Hunter ship. The pilot takes off with a jet-pack, followed by a swarm of Blacktron ships. The film cuts to the Space Police fleet, where an officer in one of the ships is being spied on by the Blacktron pilot. The officer switches his monitor between different scenes, of a Space Police Commander ship, a Blacktron Intruder Force ship, a news report by "Larry Lego" of the Spyrius base being attacked by a robot, and finally an asteroid field. The jet-pack pilot appears floating in the asteroid field before transforming into a Star Rider and flying away.

The short film is structured like a film trailer for a non-existent feature film. The film opens with cast run listing fictional LEGO actors supposedly in the film, such as "Arnold Lego" and "Tom Duplo", alongside the production company and director. At the end is a billing block, featuring the same fictional actors but also crediting its animators.
