Synopsis [spoilers]: Herman has bought a new citizen's band (or "ham", as I think they also call it) radio system; he talks to people all over the world. He likes to sing but people on the other side don't like to hear him. One day he picks up a conversation on walkie-talkies between two children playing aliens. He thinks he has contacted real aliens; Grandpa says he will help him find them with the aid of his direction-finder wand (which he has recently transistorized, and which can be tuned for water, girls, metal or aliens). They hear some noise under a sewer entrance and they take the lid off; Herman receives a water spurt at his face; they had tuned the wand for water, by mistake. After they tune it correctly, they indeed find the boys but the latter run scared at the sight of Herman and Grandpa. They photograph the"alien" spaceship, in fact a toy. They take the photo to NASA, but of course are not taken seriously. Herman makes contact again via radio with the boys, but this time the father of one of them is nearby and very angrily picks up the walkie-talkie and tells Herman he doesn't like him; Herman is not worried: "You don't know where I am", he scoffs. The boy's father replies that in that case he would destroy the entire Earth. Herman is terrified and forces Lily and Marilyn into a cubicle where he says they will be safe during the Earth's destruction; Grandpa sees them there and is pulled in; he tells Herman to stop that nonsense: the NASA has identified the spaceship in the photo as a toy (he shows the MADE IN JAPAN sign amplified). Later, Herman is again at the radio; Lily complains that he is spending too much time at it; suddenly, Herman picks a transmission claiming to be from Mars; Herman tells the guy to shut up and turns it off; but this time it was a real alien, who comments: "These earthlings are very impolite."
Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
