Title: Just Listen to the Kid!
Review: Young David McLean (Jimmy Hunt) is the quintessential child that receives many compliments from adults; he's polite, works hard at school and always tells the truth.But his life is in for a rough ride and the world is at risk when adults feel he is telling tall tales to get attention. And it all starts with some type of object crash landing into a sandpit near the McLean household.People who whet their curiosity concerning the rumors of something strange being buried in the sand - including David's father - disappear for a period of time and reappear with extreme changes in their personalities. Two adults - Dr. Pat Blake (Helena Carter) and Dr. Stuart Kelston (Arthur Franz) - take David at his word, which sets off a perilous race against time to solve the mystery before more humans are "controlled" by the stranded aliens.Nominated for a 1953 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, it is a swerve on "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," because this young person is telling the truth.
