Synopsis
A damaged UFO comes down on a farm. The inhabitant, a cat, emerges unnoticed as the military come. The ship is taken to the Energy Research Laboratory where scientists attempt to find out what powers it. The cat goes to one of the scientists, Frank Wilson, who adopts it, naming it Jake. But then the cat speaks to Frank, telling him its name is Zunar J5/9 Doric 47, and demonstrating a range of telekinetic abilities, which are produced by the collar it wears. It must return and dock with its mothership within a matter of days or be abandoned on Earth for the next 11 years. Frank sets about trying to help Jake, but then Jake announces that he needs the equivalent of $120,000 in gold to power the ship. And so their only recourse is to win the money at the gambling table, aided by Jake’s psychic powers.
