Two misplaced aliens and their adoptive earth parents find themselves pursued by the U.S. Government. Based on Kurt Vonnegut's best seller, "Slapstick." This film was done by Jerry for the 20 year old director as a favor. The film was insignificant and highly forgetful. A shame to waste such talented actors, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
