synopsis
Cindy Williams as Arlene, Harry Dean Stanton as her brother Bud, and Fred Ward as the drifter Sheldon star in this comedy about Arlene's firm belief in UFOs, and how that might be used to advantage. Sheldon first meets Arlene in a small town in the desert where he goes to find her brother, a friend of his and a local preacher. As he becomes romantically involved with Arlene, he and her brother see a way to bilk the country bumpkins who believe her about the UFOs and make off with a little bit of money. Plans do not necessarily proceed as scheduled, since the duo erroneously believe their assumption about the gullibility of Arlene's converts.
