My Favourite Martian

The news producer Tim O'Hara is covering the launch of a space shuttle to Mars with the reporter Brace Channing, who is the daughter of his boss Mr. Channing, and his assistant Lizzie. During the live broadcast, the dumb Brace repeats a comment he made about her, and he is immediately fired by Mr. Channing. While driving back home during the night, Tim sees the crash of a Martian spaceship and he stops his car on the shoulder to find out what has just happened. Bruce is driving behind Tim and he calls her to see the ship, but the Martian has reduced its size and hid in the trunk of his car. Soon Tim meets the Martian at home, confronts him but he is knocked out. Lizzie visits him and the Martian uses the gum nerplex to transform himself in Tim and talk to Lizzie. He ends the conversation kissing her, and she goes home. Soon Tim learns that the Martian needs an electron accelerator to fix his spacecraft, and he decides to help him to repair the shop. Tim calls him Uncle Martin, and he is kind of fascinated with ice cream and the Earth. Tim tapes Uncle Martin and his suit Zoot with a hidden camera, but he decides not to show the tapes since Martin has become his friend. Martin discovers that his spacecraft will blow up unless repaired. When Brace learns that there is a Martian on Earth, she visits Tim and steals the tapes when she finds them. Now Tim and Martin team up to retrieve the tapes before the broadcast.
