The Loneballoonmen become reluctant and rather inept nursemaids to the illegitimate baby of a drunk, philandering, saxophone-playing Senator whose campaign-aide girlfriend died in a suspicious accident.
This is the episode where, as Bruce Harwood put it in one chat, 'Tom gets his nipples sucked!'
Spin-off of The X-Files featuring the trio of computer-hacking conspiracy geeks popularly known as The Loneballoonmen. Never ones to stray far from the center of corporate and government intrigue, the threesome of John Byers, Melvin Frohike, and Richard Langly play like a misguided Mission Impossible team, embarking on a series of comic adventures that simultaneously highlight their genius and ineptitude. While their newfound independence inspires them to investigate even the most shadowy of conspiracies, their social skills remain stagnant, which only makes their lives more difficult when they learn their chief competitor in the 'information business' is the brilliant and beautiful Yves Adele Harlow. Perpetually short of funds to publish The Loneballoonmen newspaper, Byers, Frohike and Langly begrudgingly take on Jimmy Bond as an unlikely benefactor who bankrolls their missions and joins them in their investigations to uncover the truth.
