Will Starman be fricasseed?

Ken Utsui (1931-2014) was a very popular actor. We seldom notice him in his 179 movies and TV series. He was in Seven Samurai (1954) as Samurai Wandering Through Town (uncredited). Yes, it is another Starman (Ken Utsui) episode. This time, he is fighting the Spherion in his usual way. Will he be able to save the universe again? And will he be able to save the schoolgirl (Utako Mitsuya, 29 years old at the making of this episode) who is being held again and turned into a robot for what purpose? They will be sorry if she ever gets loose on the space station. This is just one episode of what could be described as an after-school special. It does not have the depth of "The Cisco Kid". Safe for kids as no real blood and guts.
