Synopsis:
John Jones is approached by some men from Harovia. It seems that John resembles the missing prince from their country. John can’t explain his past because he was on Mars when the prince disappeared, so they take him back to their country to be crowned king.

John is attacked several times by agents of Baron Brujo, a tyrant leader. He finds the real prince, who is in hiding because of Brujo. Then he convinces the prince to fight Brujo. John secretly assists the prince as the Martian Manhunter. After the prince defeats his enemy, John returns home.
