Irresistibly funny Mork from Planet Ork lands on Earth where he is befriended by lovely Mindy and gets lessons in love from "the Fonz" who gets him a date with Laverne. Mork, a misfit on
his own planet because of his sense of humor, has been sent on a mission to observe Earth's more primitive society and report back telepathically to his leader, Orson. He arrives in Boulder, Colorado, and meets Mindy mcconnell, who has just been stranded by a boyfriend. They walk to Mindy's apartment where Mork soon convinces
her that he is an alien from outer space. He's also so disarmingly innocent that Mindy feels protective and lets him spend the night. Frederick jumps to the wrong conclusion when Mork announces that he is staying with Mindy and asks a cop friend to get rid of him. Meanwhile, Mork decides he needs advice in the art of dating
and goes to confer with "The Fonz", the greatest expert in the universe on the dating ritual peculiar to humans. In a flashback sequence, Mork arrives at Richie Cunningham's home where Fonzie is house-sitting. "The Fonz" arranges a blind date for Mork and Laverne with hilarious results. Meanwhile, in Boulder, Frederick's friend,
Officer Tilwick, has taken steps that eventually lead to a sanity hearing for Mork. |
