Daniel, who has a history of mental illness, believes that his neighbors are space aliens who are seeking to kidnap him and take him to their home planet to serve as a subject of experiments

When his neighbor Bill appears at Daniel's front door to invite him to a neighborhood gathering, Daniel shoots at Bill with a pistol while shouting, "Take that you green-eyed hairy alien!" The shots miss. Police subsequently arrest Daniel and he is tried for attempted murder. If Daniel is found not guilty by reason of insanity, he cannot be tried again for the crime even if his mental health issues are later resolved.
