Benji, Zax & the Alien Prince

[3] A tyrant named Zanu has taken control of the distant, red planet of Antars which is "way off in another galaxy" as Yubi describes in the episode "Double Trouble" while rehearsing exactly who he is and where he comes from.

When Yubi and Zax land on Earth, they are befriended by a stray dog named Benji, who remains their companion for the run of the series.

Two Antarian bounty hunters named Darah and Khyber, along with their droid Zord (Level 10 programing), are sent to Earth to find and to capture Yubi.

There is never any doubt that Benji is a major heroic figure for this show who seems to do an often better job protecting his highness than the level 2 droid assigned to him.

The episode "Puppy Love" features Tosha Moody as Tanya, a secret agent of Zanu.

Burton also played T.J. Parker (an Earth boy) in the episode "Double Trouble" who shoplifted a general store, which led to Yubi being arrested due to their striking resemblance to each other, while Khyber and Darah kidnap T.J. whom they mistake for the Prince.

While walking through town, Benji and Zax notice Zanu's hunters and are chased into an auto junkyard.

The hunters draw Yubi out of hiding by leaking the location of his spacecraft to the authorities while using Benji as a distraction against them.

Yubi learns the startling secret of an old cattleman with a closely guarded mine, who is revealed to be an Antarian named Trask.

Benji is harassed by a group of boys known as "The Vikings" and they endanger Yubi's life by stealing his cipher.

Benji and Zax plan to set things right, but when the hunters realize the mistake, they go back and disguise themselves as Yubi's parents.

Meanwhile, the hunters capture Zax and send an evil duplicate named Circon to lure Yubi into their trap.

However, the hunters return and switch him back on, but Benji tricks them into shooting Circon after mistaking him for Zax.
