All is well for the Kellys, who live in the desert, until an alien lands in a space ship. This creature plans to dominate earthlings by mind projection. Birds go after humans (Did Hitchcock see this movie?) and normally tranquil animals turn vicious. Finally, by dint of the love between them, the Kellys manage to vanquish the being and the spacecraft flies off, although we never see if the alien went with it. The big question in this cheap, cheap movie is, what was Chester Conklin doing in the film? Chester was one of Chaplin's favorites, appearing in MODERN TIMES and THE GREAT DICTATOR, as well as hundreds of shorts for Sennett. His first well-known role was in GREED and he was quite a cutup in HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO. So again we ask, what was he doing in this turkey? Would that he were around to answer. leave a comment
