Synopsis/Details
Zeb arrives at a local barn. The owner shows him a box of would-be pets. Zeb selects a boy. He puts the box holding the new family pet on the passenger-side seat of his vehicle. When he removes a glove, we see a six-fingered, black hand with pointed, green nails. A look inside the box shows a human baby boy now on his way to becoming a pet to a conquering alien race. Lastly, we see Zeb's aircar take off into the blue, Earth sky on his way home.
