Los Angeles high school teacher Ralph Hinkley encountered an alien
spacecraft while on a desert field trip and was presented with a red
costume with unique superpowers. The suit looked like a pair of tight
fitting red pajamas with a black cape and bestowed fantastic powers
(flight, incredible speed, telekinesis, clairvoyance, invisibility,
invulnerability from bullets and super strength) to this blond,
mild-mannered high school teacher. The aliens had chosen Hinkley
because he matched their profile of someone having the qualities of
"moral character, idealism and integrity." Unfortunately, before Ralph
got the hang of the suit's abilities, he lost the instruction book that
came with it. He spent the rest of the series clumsily fighting evil as
he tried to unlock the many mysteries of this extraterrestrial costume.
Assisting our superhero in the pursuit of the bad guys was Ralph's
attorney girlfriend Pam Davidson who along with FBI agent Bill Maxwell
were the only other humans who knew the secret. Bill called Ralph's suit
"The Jammies." At the end of the series, Ralph's identity was inadvertently
revealed and the Aliens advised Ralph to find another earthling to wear
the suit. It was given to Holly Hathaway, who would become
"The Greatest American Heroine."
