Synopsis
Vanka thinks that she saw a spaceship while investigating lover's lane with her new boyfriend, Jed Brickman. The other Monster Warriors begin to investigate, with Luke a little more worried than the others; after all, he was brainwashed by aliens, and he has reason to believe that any alien presence is causing him to behave very strangely. Their attempt to track the suspected alien vessel backfires, however, when it appears that they have, in fact, been hailing alien vessels.

Production notes
Who do you call when giant earthworms are eating subway trains, a 60-foot bumblebee is sucking up the city's electricity and a gigantic squid is munching ferry boats? The Monster Warriors, of course. Using everyday household objects to make low-tech weapons, the Monster Warriors- Luke, Vanka, Tabby and Antonio- defend Capital City against an onslaught of creatures straight out of a 1950s monster movie, like a giant anaconda, Tyrannosaurus Rex and a skeleton army.
Combined live action and 3D CGI animation (the creatures are animated).
Each episode spawns a different CGI created B-movie monster, such as giant spiders, a skeleton army, a giant anaconda and a terrifying tyrannosaurus rex. As the series gathers pace, Monster Warriors Luke, Vanka, Tabby and Antonio begin to unravel the explanation behind the monsters- that crazed, retired B-movie director Klaus Von Steinhauer is behind the attacks.
Filmed in Barrie, Ontario, the city's quarries, junkyards and waterfront set the perfect photo-realistic stage upon which visual effects team Bullseye Post Production created the show's 3D-animated monsters and brought them to life.
