INKER: Joe Certa
CHARACTERS: Martian Manhunter; Captain Harding

PLOT:
The Buggsy Roach Gang has found a space capsule containing martian weapons. They begin using the weapons to commit crimes. Detective John Jones and Captain Harding are unable to catch the crooks, so Jones slips away into an alley. He changes into the Martian Manhunter, but is seen by Harding. Fortunately, Harding believes one of the weapons has changed Jones.

The Manhunter follows the crooks to their lair invisibly. A martian radar scope allows the gang to locate the martian even though he is invisible. They run to the shed where the other weapons are stored to use on the approaching hero. Manhunter gets there first, but accidently starts a fire. Using some gunpowder, he creates an explosion which blows him free of the shed and destroys the weapons. He then captures the gang.
