...writer, who was not a member of the parish, threatened that the press would hear about Henry's if Henry's was not closed by July 1. The first week in July, the Miami Herald showed up: "Henry's Hideaway is no ordinary, run-of-the-mill bar.

Buckaroo Banzai proposes that the invasion was for real. The aliens were not Martians but "Lectroids" from the distant Planet 10, who took on human form while searching for the technology needed to destroy the earth and launch them back to do intergalactic evil. Now the technology, an Oscillation Overthruster, is just beyond their grasp: in the hands of our hero, who discovered it while traveling through solid rock...
