Quazum

The Space Exploration Agency (SEA) is on a mission to explore QUAZMOPOLIS, a planet with stronger gravity and temperatures but an atmosphere capable of supporting human life. BEN is a scientist who is operating computers at SEA headquarters, and LACY, the girl he loves, is exploring the planet with another man, making Ben very jealous. During the mission, Lacy thinks she's discovered life but is mysteriously knocked unconscious. When the crew returns, Lacy is shown to be pregnant causing Ben to end their relationship and quit SEA. The head of Science Exploration (DR. PALMER), also upset by the unexplained pregnancy, asks Lacy to terminate or quietly leave the agency. Lacy is distraught and decides to return to her father GABRIEL's swampland home in Back Bayou. She then gives birth to an invisible baby she names "QUAZUM". Years later, Gabriel and Lacy are raising the unique chameleon boy, who is amazingly strong, can hide anywhere, and climb trees with ease. His skin is not easily pierced by bullets, and he drinks saltwater. Quazum is also technologically advanced at a young age. When Ben learns details from the first mission and finds out Lacy's pregnancy was not from another astronaut, he believes he must be the father of Lacy's baby. Ben vows to find Lacy, make up for past actions, and finally meet his child. During the investigation, with aid of local sheriff and police, Lacy and Gabriel are shot. Near-death from a bullet to the head, Lacy explains to Ben that Quazum must have come from a fertilized egg implanted in her during the mission to Quazmopolis. Invisible Quazum escapes and is forced to begin a new life hiding around the big city. Ben vows to become a loyal guardian and begins a search for Quazum. Dr. Palmer comes in with the intension of saving Lacy and learns more about her mysterious life. And while Quazum struggles to survive, the media and police begin investigating strange reports of ghost sightings. In a dark alley, Ben finally discovers Quazum. After attacks by gang members and Quazum's rescue of Ben, Quazum explains his only goal now is to return to his true home on Quazmopolis. Ben vows to help with the idea of returning to Science Exploration. The media asks questions and broadcasts news of ghost sightings. The sheriff and police continue their investigation, and Dr. Palmer begins to realize the coincidence of Lacy's pregnancy and the local ghost sightings. After return to SEA, Ben sneaks Quazum onboard a new solar jet leaving for Quazmopolis. A second before takeoff, Quazum escapes and reveals he is only a child too scared to move to another planet and wants only to return to his home in the Swampland. Ben rushes him out as Dr. Palmer is arriving to meet Quazum for the first time. Quazum and Ben return to private life in Back Bayou, before Dr. Palmer visits their cabin with recovering Lacy.
