This has a sort of Day the Earth Stood Still quality to it. It's about a stranger who is pursued in a superstitious Mexican village. He is an alien and has come to earth to give us a gift. Unfortunately, he is confronted by one of them and in the struggle, the gun fires, killing one of the police. It then involves the connection forged between a lonely little boy and the "man." Of course, brutality has a way of rearing its head and things get mucked up. The wonderful gift the man has is seen as a work of the devil and the knotheaded populace react. Twain put this forth in Connecticut Yankee. I've always wondered how this would have faired in the religious community. It's a bit on the cynical side.
