Plot
At the start of the episode, Pumbaa is sitting at a tree stump with a fork and a knife getting ready to eat. Timon shows up with a tray, takes the top off and Pumbaa sees that all the meerkat caught was a really tiny bug. Pumbaa is not happy about that and uses a construction tool to do something with the bug. The warthog tells Timon that there are lots of bugs they can eat in the planet Mars. Timon gets an idea and makes himself and Pumbaa go to NASA.

Timon and Pumbaa are at NASA and one of the scientists interview them before they get started. After the interview, the scientists test Timon and Pumbaa to make them ready to go to Mars, such as making them float in the air. As the two are being tested, Pumbaa asks one of the scientists if he and Timon could have some bugs, but the scientist replies "Not yet."

After being tested, Timon and Pumbaa are ready to go to Mars. The scientists take the two to a spaceship, which makes Timon and Pumbaa suspicious and escape the scientists.

When Timon and Pumbaa get back to NASA, they open a box and see that it's full of bugs. The two get in the box, not only to hide from the scientists, but also to eat the bugs. As the two are in the box eating bugs, a machine takes the box to a spaceship. Timon and Pumbaa get out of the box and see that they're in the spaceship and it flies to Mars.

Timon and Pumbaa arrive at Mars. Pumbaa is not sure about the planet but Timon thinks that everything's fine. Timon and Pumbaa then run into aliens, who are about to eat them.
