One group at TLH is investigating the urban legend of socks disappearing in clothes dryers. To find the missing socks, the team enlists the aid of fellow TLH employee, Harrold, who has a knack for finding things and is routinely called upon to recover items gone missing during TLH's wild and varied experiments.

In his typical haphazard fashion, Harrold embarks on a quest to find the missing socks. He soon discovers that the socks' disappearance is merely a side effect of a group of time-traveling aliens' project to enslave all of a mankind. In trying to stop this threat, Harrold is thrown back and forth through time like a popcorn kernel in a hot air popper. Harold manages to meet the girl of his dreams along the way, but can he thwart the aliens' evil plan?
