Synopsis:
John Jones pursues a thief, Alex Dunster, who steals valuable scientific equipment. Among the items stolen by Dunster is the machine that Dr. Erdel used to bring the Martian Manhunter to Earth. Dunster, a scientific genius himself, repairs the machine and is able to transport items into space.

John locates Dunster and realizes he merely has to wait for the thief to leave before using the machine to return home. However, his sense of duty requires him to stop Dunster. In the ensuing scuffle the machine is destroyed. Dunster is apprehended, but J’onn remains trapped on Earth.
