Purple People Eater

That night, Billy whistles his novelty song and a one-eyed, one-horned alien lands on a nearby tree. The creature introduces himself as Purple and quickly befriends the boy. Purple explains that he knows mostly classic hits because it takes twenty-five years for radio waves to reach his home planet.

The next day Billy and Sam spot Purple at the Sunny Hills mall and are amazed by the alien's presence. Sam encourages Billy that the two of them should form a rock-and-roll duo with Purple. Purple shares that his musical repertoire is limited to older songs due to the long signal delay.

Billy tells his friend Allison about Purple, and she promises to keep the secret. However, their nosy neighbor Donna overhears the confession. The mention of a real alien creates tension about who might reveal the truth.

Ken Noodle, the greedy landlord, pressures Sam and Rita to pay the rent so they can be evicted from their elderly housing. Rita fears losing her home, and the threat looms over her and her neighbor. The eviction pressure marks the first major obstacle to the trio's plans.

Sam receives a phone call about a potential record deal, but then learns Rita is sick. He and Billy rush to Rita's home to check on her and introduce Purple to the family. Rita's health scare leads to hospitalization.

The following day, Billy and Sam visit Rita in the hospital. They introduce Purple to Rita and sense a growing bond between them. Purple's presence reassures the family as they discuss their plan to help her.

That night, Rita celebrates her birthday with family, but Noodle arrives with an eviction notice. The stress triggers Rita to pass out, and an ambulance is called to take her to the hospital. The urgent threat adds urgency to their plan to help the other residents.

With Rita's hospital stay and the housing crisis, Billy and Sam decide to organize a benefit concert to save the elderly homes. Purple becomes central to the plan, using his performance to draw attention and raise funds. They enlist community support and set the event for Labor Day.

Noodle attempts to kidnap Purple to derail the planned concert, hoping to crush the town's morale and profit from the disruption. Billy and Sam must protect their unusual ally and keep the concert on track. The stakes rise as the villain intensifies his interference.

The day before the concert, Billy discovers Purple is missing. The town gathers to search, and anxiety grows about the big event's safety and success. The band uses the setback as motivation to keep going.

Purple eventually escapes from Noodle during a tense road chase. He dodges pursuit and stays focused on reaching the concert in time. The chase raises the energy and anticipation for the show.

Right before the concert begins, Purple arrives on stage just in time to perform The Purple People Eater. The crowd roars as he delivers the classic song and then waves goodbye, flying back home to his planet. Billy's town is saved by the concert money and friendship remains.
