In a remote town he meets his old friend Brother Bud, a much more successful fraud who acts as a miracle healer and deals in stolen cars with stolen cars . Sheldon settles there when he meets the beautiful Arlene and falls in love with her. There are numerous UFO sightings in the area , and when Arlene only talks about UFOs, Sheldon initially threatens to leave them. One day, however, Sheldon takes her to an event that is also aired on local television where she speaks of her vision of the imminent arrival of UFOs. As Sheldon, she defends against skeptics in the audience.
Brother Bud, who had followed the appearance of the two on local television, then invited them to his own show. To Arlene's initial disappointment, Sheldon used most of the performance to sing. She also gets behind the business model of Brother Bud, is upset and reports the deal with the stolen cars to the police. When Sheldon drives the stolen car to the transfer point in a car transporter , Arlene accompanies him, not without first informing the UFO believers about the transfer point as the landing site for the aliens . So there is no handover due to the crowd. At dusk a glistening light appears in the sky; However, it is not a UFO, but a police helicopter . The police arrive with numerous patrol cars to arrest the car brokers. Brother Bud is arrested while Sheldon and Arlene escape.
As they stiffen alone through the darkness, the UFO predicted by Arlene actually appears in the sky; it picks up the two and disappears with them into space.
