Running Scared: ALF (TV Episode)

Plot

Having been the "alien who cried wolf" too often, ALF can't get the Tanners to believe that he got a call from an extortionist, threatening to turn him over to the immigration authorities unless he coughs up three thousand dollars. This leaves ALF with only three choices: He can either earn the money himself and make "the drop"; he can surrender to the authorities; or he can run for the hills. Guess which one he chooses? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
