The action began at the Argentine Antarctica, where a base was overrun by unknown forces. It soon becomes clear that they were dealing with an alien invasion. The few soldiers present were incapable of stopping the UFO, which buried itself in Antartica and created a massive headquarters. All the countries in the world joined forces to attack the aliens, to no avail. Then the aliens made a threat: Earth must surrender, or else Dallas (United States) and Smolensk (Soviet Union) will be destroyed. The armies movilized to protect both cities, but they were destroyed anyway, by unknown means. The aliens made a new threat: Earth must surrender, or else Chicago and Boston (United States) Krakov and Leningrad (Soviet Union) will be destroyed. Earth surrenders. The world leaders meet the alien leader at Stonehenge, who gives them the ultimatum: Earth must give South America to the aliens, and there shall be peace. The United States and the Soviet Union agree; as the Antartes had agreed to mantain their status as world powers. Zaire proposes an alternative action to destroy the aliens, but the Americans nuke their country, to prevent it.

* AppropriatedAppellation: The aliens are initially named "Antartes" because their base is at the antarctica. When they appear, they called themselves "antartes" with no clear explanation.

* ShooOutTheClowns: The guy in Antartica, talking with the radio to the base as he approached the base overrun by aliens, joked that he would prefer to be fishing in Tigre. Base control reminded him that his reports were being sent directly to the President of Argentina... and the United States, the Soviet Union, London, France, etc. An alien invasion is serious stuff!
