Synopsis:
Space Cabbie visits the authorities on Mars to report a counterfeiter who has given him phony currency. When he returns to his cab he finds a duplicate version of himself. Both cabbies think they are the real Space Cabby, and an argument ensues. To prevent confusion the cabbies label themselves A and B.

To determine how the double came into being the cabbies discuss the events leading up to their meeting. Space Cabbie had given the counterfeiter a ride, then been paid with phony money. He followed the crook to his hide-out and discovered the counterfeiting machine. Then the crook knocked him out and made a double of the cab driver.

The two cabbies still are not sure which one is real. They track down the counterfeiter again. This time they team up to defeat him. After the fight they use a molecular molder machine to destroy the phony cabbie. Space Cabbie "B" was the real one all along, which he deduces since "A" was left handed and the real cabbie is right handed.
