A cowardly boy is ashamed when space aliens interrogate him for when would be the best time to invade and he is too frightened to even lie to them. They let him go so he can check the paper for the best time to invade and he regrets his cowardice. When he sees tomorrow is the fourth of July he tells the aliens to invade after nightfall and the fireworks display frightens them off.
