The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid

A sleepy town mistakes paratroopers for aliens until one sheriff gets saddled with a pint-sized stowaway. When the local constabulary also earns a military lockdown for protecting a cosmic stowaway, intergalactic child support becomes a hands-on endeavor. Like dad, like punchline.
