Warning: Spoilers
The radio station owner and the alien, once they're in contact, cover the big questions. God? He is electromagnetism. Can the alien die? No. The station owner's wife interrupts - they're expected at an awards ceremony. So the man leaves this fascinating metaphysical dialogue to accept an award and dance the cha cha with a lot of middle-aged townspeople. Meanwhile the substitute DJ turns up the power and the alien is sucked into our world. He and it are incompatible. The army are called out and shoot on sight. The alien can't go back or he'd be punished by dissolution, so to save Earth he dissolves himself, after another philosophical exchange. "What will it be like?" asks the station manager. The alien opts to find out.
