Enjoying a nice and peaceful day in the middles of Nowhere, Kansas, Courage is scared out of the house by Eustace and, shortly after, sees a UFO land in the front yard. Horrified, Courage gets his masters, but when they arrive at the scene, the space craft had gone, as well as its captain, a [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyed]] chicken.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Surprisingly little. For a standalone DomesticOnlyCartoon short, it has more in common with [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog the show it was spun off into]] than most actual pilots do for their shows. The only major differences are Courage having a bigger snout, significantly more MediumBlending (all of the photos are real photographs), Eustace and Muriel being slightly less on-model, and a couple of interiors in the Bagges' house that were never seen again. It also lacks some of the show's trademark comically oversized props, and Eustace and Muriel have no spoken dialogue (as a result, we don't even learn their names until the credits roll -- even then, Eustace ''has'' no name, listed instead as "Farmer"). Otherwise, the show would follow the short's aesthetic to a tee.
