The film begins in outer space, a place where screams are swallowed by a vacuum-like lack of matter, and where chills run down the spines of anyone who dares to venture into the frigid vastness of the universe. The audience watches in speechless fright as a black spaceship ominously approaches. It is about to make a special delivery.

The chokehold on the audience only gets tighter as a terrible creature, The It (codenamed 17), emerges from the foliage on the planet Earth, and begins to march towards a quaint farmhouse. Once inside, it will embark on a near-impossible mission, risking it's life to steal food from the house's inhabitants.

However, for some odd reason, no "Special Delivery" audience has ever been gripped by fear. Instead, they have reacted with joy and laughter. Maybe it's because the horrible creature doesn't look horrible. Maybe it's because it's short, and all the audiences like to laugh and make fun of short people.

This film has recieved an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences young and old, and has gotten many awards, including the Ellis Library Film Festival awards for Best Cinematography, Best Comedy, Audience Favorite, and Best Film. "Special Delivery" has also won the Kato Kaelin "Things That Go Bump in the Night" Award.
