Synopsis:
Crimes are being committed around town by animals. John Jones has been nearby each incident and prevented the animals from getting away with any money by using his martian powers.

Seeking to capture the criminal behind the thefts, Jones, as the Martian Manhunter, finds a strange truckload of elephants driven by the thief. Jones leads the elephants away from the crowds, and stops the crook’s gorillas by giving them parsley to eat. The crook is captured, but puzzled as to why his animals did not perform as trained.
