Plot Summary
When a Mexican boy named Luis Mancia comes to social services trying to get a bus ride back home to Mexico, Willie battles with his conscience about sending him on a bus by himself when he is unable to contact his father in Mexico. Instead, Willie brings Luis home for the night so that he'll have more time to locate him. At night, Luis is snooping around the backyard and discovers ALF. ALF explains to Luis that he is an extraterrestrial and they become friends, working on his garden together.
When Willie discovers that Luis' father Fredo Mancia is not in Mexico, but works in a carpet factory in California on a work permit, Luis explains that he didn't like it here and was trying to get back to Mexico where his friends are. ALF has a talk with Luis and explains to him that he lost all of his friends, too, but that he has made new friends on Earth, This comforts Luis and he agrees to go back to his father.
