A family is disgusted by their horrible alien looking newborn baby. The baby grows up but is constantly being shunned by everyone due its horrible appearance. As an adult the depressed being wants to commit suicide, but suddenly sees a rocket ship arrive. It's revealed the being originated from that planet and is asked if it wants to return home to be with its own people where it is considered beautiful. The being agrees. The twist is that all this time the being was a beautiful human woman and it was the denizens of the Earth-like planet she grew up on that were the ugly alien creatures.
