Synopsis:
Private detective Star Hawkins is down on his luck. He has been forced to pawn off his robot secretary for credits and is still broke. Star takes a job to locate martian Qar-Miq. He enters the dangerous Red Jungle of Vesta where the martian is believed to be hiding. Star finds Qar-Miq and apprehends him. Star brings him back to Earth to testify in a legal dispute over the rights to a mine. With the money he has earned for the capture, Star returns to the pawn broker and buys back his secretary.
