Buddy McGee eagerly awaits a promised Christmas visit from his friend, the thing from outer space.

Based on the children's book by Edward Marshall, Space Case is about an alien that arrives on Earth on Halloween night where it is mistaken for a trick-or-treater. The alien befriends a young boy who teaches it about human holidays.

Two lonely boys who don't know each other meet on a city street. Brought together with a simple "Yo!" answered by the other one's "Yes?" and the bounce of a basketball, this modern classic will strike a chord with every child who's ever longed for a friend.
