The sequel to COMPANY'S COMING actually ranked higher in my book than the first. We pick up just where we left off....the dinner party is over, all the "guests" have gone home, and the alien visitors want to take Shirley and Moe to their home planet...but it's not exactly what you think. A case of mistaken identity, a few ray gun shots, and a whole lot of meatball making magic later, and we close scene with a tear filled goodbye, and a reminder once again that not everything is what it at first appears to be, and everyone deserves a chance.

Love how wacky this story is--wacky characters, wacky situation, wacky sense of humor.
Amusing follow up to Company's Coming, especially the way the aliens think the humans are martians.
