Synopsis:
A rocket from Mars lands on Earth. A criminal martian named B’rett is inside. He begins using his powers to steal and terrorize humans. Detective John Jones is alerted to the trouble and investigates. Jones, in his Martian Manhunter guise, confronts the other alien. B’rett uses a Formula Z6 pellet on J’onn which removes his ability to use martian powers while invisible.

J’onn again confronts the alien, this time he allows the Earth people to see him. While they are startled at first, they realize he is trying to capture the criminal. J’onn weakens his opponent with some burning leaves. He is then able to send B’rett back to Mars. J’onn is welcomed by the thankful Earthmen.
