The television theme is carried over into the record sleeve, which features liner information displayed as if it were a TV Guide listing, complete with stylized channel numbers and little blurbs of content.

Like Firesign's Nick Danger, Dick Private (Austin), the hero and narrator of this album is a hard-boiled detective.

Normally he is the hero of his own detective show Carhook, but when he takes on client Regular Boinklin (who sounds like Ozzie Nelson), he finds himself crossing channels to Boinklin's Regular and Ethyl Show, a sitcom parody of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.

He aids Boinklin, neighbor Tricky Retardo (David Ossman) (who, along with his wife Juicy (Philip Proctor), parodies the principal characters of I Love Lucy), and Tricky's brother Jesus (Austin), who all want to know what Juicy and Ethyl are doing at the weekly meetings of their club, the Roller Maidens From Outer Space.

It turns out the Roller Maidens have been subverted by a plot that involves both malevolent aliens and a character who might actually be the Devil.
