Director

The Muppet Babies are playing outer space explorers when a strange creature enters the nursery. The creature, cloaked in a sweatshirt, bucket and belt from the Babies' closet, was assumed to be a alien named Irma. The Babies think she is from the planet Neptune and was left behind on Earth by her family. The Babies try calling Irma's family and building a huge slingshot to shoot her home. After many failed attempts, the Babies, using their imagination, set off into outer space to take Irma back home.

It turns out that Irma is a koala bear named Charlie that escaped from the nearby zoo. A zoo keeper comes and gets Irma and gives the babies free passes to the zoo for taking care of him.
