The story follows two young adults, Billy and Jane, played by Mackenzie Astin and Carmen Electra. Their journey from a chance meeting at a club to the complexities of a long-term relationship provides the structure for the "alien study."

Copulation (referred to as "the insertion") is described

A highly expensive, public ritual involving costumes (tuxedo and white dress), floral displays, and the exchange of circular metal symbols (rings). The film dryly observes that the ceremony legally binds the pair until "production of offspring or legal dissolution via currency transfer" (divorce).

: The narrator uses a deadpan, clinical tone similar to nature documentaries, often applying wildly inaccurate theories to explain human behavior.
