Aliens have decided to invade the planet and as usual a white male scientist is the first person they contact. The scientist, played by Hugh Marlowe pleads for the US government to contact the aliens but to no avail. So the brave scientist sets out on his own to contact the aliens - and promptly sets the Earth up for invasion. Nice going nerd. Meanwhile, science guy's new fiance complains that someone else can save the world from his planet-threatening mistake and future father-in-law becomes a walking slave to the aliens. That's gonna be a weird Thanksgiving.
