The Rocket Man 70 years old

Out-of-this-world laughter and down-to-earth charm when the face from space turns out to be...the kid next door!

Wacky complications ensue when a little boy comes into possession of a ray gun that compels anyone caught in its beam to tell the truth. He uses it to prevent his orphanage from being shut down by creditors and to help a cute couple fall in love.
