One more then..... either from "The Outer Limits", or "Twilight Zone" circa late '50s, early '60s. Scenario - USA & USSR are close to lobbing the big one at each other. Our (mad) scientists come up with a plan whereby the only way to save mama earth from oblivion is to invent an extra-terrestrial, & have him (it) land somewhere to announce a coming invasion by hoards of his (its) species, with the intent that the cold war adversaries would quit pissing each other off; & join forces against the impending space invasion. One of the scientists is "selected" to begin a series of body part transplants from various barnyard critters to make him appear uh..."less human". I think the final result resembled a satyr, but not as cute. Anyway, he's loaded into a fake spacecraft, & is destined to land somewhere to mutter the "Take me to your leader" line. However the craft misses its mark (Times Square?), & crashes somewhere less civilized (I know, hard to imagine).
After our deformed savior crawls from the hatch, he (it) is wandering through a forest (think Deliverence), when "POW", he's (it's) taken down by a bullet betwixed the horns.
"Day-um", exclaims hunter Buford to buddy Darrold, eyeing the fallen critter. "That's the ugliest dam' warthog I ever done seen".
The end.
Prolog - happy ending....USSR discovers Playboy, tears down The Wall, buys Cadillacs, & sells bombs to Saddam.
