Synopsis

Dr. Ominous has been captured, so Top Dog can return to the Jordan household. When he gets there he finds a French family living there. The son hears Top Dog talk and thinks he's an E.L.F (Extraterrestrial Life Form), but no one believes him. Top Dog finds the family is only living there temporarily, and the Jordans are returning that day.
