We're not alone. An advanced civilization is keeping a close watch on us, and lives by the creed "Do not interfere," which became popular later in the Star Trek series. Due to an accident, three members of this race are forced to land on Earth. With their communicators disabled. their associates are unable to find them quickly.

Separated, the three aliens must interact with humans to survive. What happens next is a nice, old fashioned sci-fi tale with some sex thrown in. At the time, this story was probably considered racy.
