The story

In the town of Sunny Hills, 12-year-old Billy Johnson learns that his grandfather Sam is supposed to watch him and his little sister Molly, while his parents are on an extended business trip in Europe. That night, Billy starts playing the novelty song, and a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple alien from outer space appears and lands on a nearby tree. When Billy whistles, the creature jumps down from the tree and befriends him, naming the alien “Purple”.
