Before Martin breaks them out, he draws Tim a map of where the CCTBS is located just in case they are separated. After they break out, they are ambushed. They awake at the wagon train where Loralei is taking care of them; she found them and feels she owes them for helping her get her money back. The only thing they are missing is the map. Martin deduces that whoever stole it must be on the wagon train and thinks that it is a map of a gold strike in California. They need to get back to the CCTBS before it may be apprehended by whoever stole the map. Of course, it is Tim and Martin's thief nemeses, Red and Pete, who are hiding out on the train. They kidnap Loralei and hold her as hostage in exchange for Tim and Martin forgetting about the map. Martin and Tim manage to find Red and Pete and Loralei - unharmed - and scare off the thieves. Martin and Tim and Loralei are then immediately abducted by some seemingly hostile Indians. So is Marshall Brennan. Martin feels he can better get out of the situation alone, so manages to break free and "appear" before the tribe as a spirit warrior, who tells the tribe he needs the three pale faces as a sacrifice. During their escape, which is almost thwarted by Marshal Brennan himself, Martin/Tim and Loralei/Brennan get separated. The Marshall and Loralei make their way to Yuma, where they call in the calvary to apprehend the prisoners, Martin and Tim. Meanwhile Martin and Tim make their way to Los Angeles, to the site of where Mrs. Brown's house should be. They can't find the CCTBS. But before they can continue looking, they have to fend off both the calvary and the expanded tribe of Indians after them. They find the CCTBS to transport themselves back to 1965 just as the calvary and Indians are ready to pounce upon them.

Since his appearance in the movie would raise questions, he needs to get back to change history and not appear in the movie. Just as Martin is ready to go, Tim gets caught in the path and goes back with Martin. As they arrive on the movie set, Martin cannot control his hatred of the actor's performance and similarly stops production just like he did the first time.

But the detective is wary about the O'Hara's ability to raise a child, and threaten to call in the authorities unless he gets a proper education. This means that Andy has to go to school. But Andy again refuses to hide his Martian background and demonstrates his Martian abilities to his teacher and classmates, who are all afraid for their lives by this obvious alien. Andy is hurt by their attitude, but Martin tried to warn him. The military and police force are called out to locate Martin and Andy and Tim, all considered alien and hostile. The only person who still sees them as friendly is Mrs. Brown. But she cannot change the minds of the rest of the world. Luckily, Martin can use his CCTBS - his time machine - to take the three of them back in time to just before Andy heads off to school and when the trouble began. Andy has learned his lesson. In the meantime, Tim has another Martian house-guest and a new "cousin".

Doggone Martian
Sun, Mar 6, 196630 mins
Tim finds a lost dog and brings him home hoping that Martin can find out from the dog where he lives. It ends up not being lucky for Martin since the dog, Tutu, drinks Martin, turning Tutu into a talking dog. You see, Martin's new gizmo has the ability to distillate animal and vegetative matter down to their water form, and to reverse the process to return the objects back to the original state. He distillates himself to be light enough to escape Earth's gravity, and with Tim's help in launching his spaceship, to return back to Mars. But first, he now has to separate himself from Tutu. But before that happens, Tutu gets caught by the dog catcher and gets sent down to the dog pound, from where Tutu's real owner picks her up. So when Tim goes down to the pound, he knows he's on the right track when the dog catcher tells tales about hearing voices when only dogs were around. At the home of the Frisby's, Tutu's owners, Tim has to convince them to let him have Tutu if only for a short time, especially since they hear Tutu talk and think she's a goldmine. Tim also has to get over Bernard Frisby's suspicions that Tim is his wife's lover. Tim is ultimately successful in the former but not in the latter, and gets a black eye from Bernard's fist in the process. But at least he gets Tutu and by association Martin home to transform Martin back. It does take a couple of tries, but they do manage to separate Tutu and Martin successfully. Unfortunately in doing so, they used up the rare Martian chemical Martin had on hand needed to distillate. Martin's plan to return back to Mars is once again put on hold.

Tim arrives home a day earlier than expected from his Mexican assignment. Despite a Keep Out sign on his apartment door, Tim enters - it is his own apartment - and is exposed to a Martian virus, causing red striping across his face. Before Martin can give him the antidote, Det. Brennan stops by and sees Tim's striping. He automatically assumes that Tim has brought back a tropical virus and calls for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Martin and Tim manage to elude Brennan once at the hospital, where Tim goes undercover, literally, by wrapping his head with medical bandages. Being unrecognizable, he is mistaken for a missing patient who is supposed to be in surgery, and is given a general anesthetic in prep for surgery. Martin manages to find Tim before he goes under the knife, but Martin now can't give him the antidote because of the possible dangerous side effect from the anesthetic. Tim now has to ride out the course of the virus, additional symptoms include emitting vacillating extreme hot and cold molecules, which in turn affect everything around him. So Martin has to keep Tim in isolation, all the while Brennan is still searching them out.

Mrs. Brown gets zapped by Martin's personality altercator. There doesn't seem to be any outward effect from the blast, however this façade is part of her personality change.

She shoplifts some small items, not too much of an issue since Martin and Tim plan on taking them all back. But some information Det. Brennan passes along to her regarding his security of the Slotkin Diamond makes her think of the bigger catch. However before she can steal it, someone beats her to the punch. Martin and Tim, and by snooping, Mrs. Brown find out the real thief is the security guard hired to transport the diamond, Jack Plummer. Now all Martin and Tim have to do is beat Mrs. Brown to Jack and the diamond and lead Det. Brennan to the thief without implicating either themselves or Mrs. Brown.

Martin Meets His Match
Sun, Mar 27, 196630 mins
Martin is having some troubles with his spaceship, so he calls in some help from an old friend, one of the greatest minds ever on Earth: Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci has other things on his mind than helping Martin. He is dismayed at life in the 20th century: how his inventions have been credited to others, and how his painting, La Gioconda, has been renamed the Mona Lisa. In his mind, all those have been stolen from him. The Mona Lisa is currently on loan to a local museum, for which Det. Brennan is in charge of security. Da Vinci sneaks out of the O'Hara apartment to collect some of what he considers to be his personal belongings, including the painting, all in an effort to take home with him to the 15th century. Martin is afraid that he'll be able to figure out how to use the CCTBS to do so. Martin and Tim find Da Vinci back at the apartment ready to take off back to the 15th century with among other things the Mona Lisa, and in an effort to stop him, Tim destroys the painting. To preserve history, they ask Da Vinci to paint a new version of the painting. Needing a model, they use an unsuspecting Mrs. Brown. Da Vinci completes the painting, in his mind greater than the first, but a Mrs. Brown likeness of the Mona Lisa and not what the world knows as the Mona Lisa. Da Vinci refuses to compromise his artistic integrity, so Martin is forced to recreate the Mona Lisa himself. It may no longer be a true Da Vinci, but it'll fool the world. Da Vinci is satisfied, and takes off back to the 15th century solely with his new masterpiece, the Mona Loralei. Or so Martin and Tim think.

Horse and Buggy Martin
Sun, Apr 3, 196630 mins
Martin has a mosquito bite, from which he is suffering from symsymsympatheticus. This is an affliction where the next person bitten by the mosquito has a bit of Martin residue in him/her, and Martin is feeling everything that next person is feeling. But what if the next person isn't a person, but a horse? It ends up being not only a horse, but a race horse named Sweet Sister, who is running better than ever. Martin needs a blood sample from Sweet Sister to develop an antidote, and he manages to do so posing as a vet. Mistaking the taking of the blood sample as a doping scam, William, a betting syndicate member, slips Sweet Sister a drugged apple to make her take a fall in the race, which in turn knocks Martin out as well. Despite being drugged, Martin thinks that sheer will power emitted through the molecule of him still in Sweet Sister may be enough to overcome the effects of the drug and have Sweet Sister win the race. Martin is able to do it with a little help from Tim and Sweet Sister's owner, Kerry Green.

Mrs. Brown once again walks in front of one of Martin's gizmos. This time, Martin was in the process of cleaning out his "sixth sense" as humans call it and reinserting it back into his body via his regenerating machine, but now Mrs. Brown is in possession of Martin's sixth sense. Three problems arise: Mrs. Brown is now suspicious of Martin since Martin wants his sixth sense back from her, Brennan breaks the regenerator which will take Martin a couple of days to fix, and the sixth sense becomes stronger over time to a point when Mrs. Brown will become aware of Martin's Martian identity. With her new sixth sense, Mrs. Brown becomes a reporter for Tim's rival newspaper, The Chronicle, scooping Tim and The Sun on all the stories. Out of a job, Tim follows Mrs. Brown on her latest scoop, as does Det. Brennan who figures it has something to do with his latest case of an escaped lion. He's right which means that Tim, Mrs. Brown and Det. Brennan are all in danger. Martin shows up just in time with the repaired regenerator, first placating the lion, then getting his sixth sense back from Mrs. Brown, just before she is ready to spill the beans on him to the detective. With a little Martian trickery, Martin is able to make Mrs. Brown lose her scoop and the detective lose his standing with the Police Chief by turning the lion into a pussycat. Everything is back to normal in their collective worlds.

Brennan and Mrs. Brown come for a visit and notice a squirrel entering the apartment. The detective talks about calling in an exterminator to which Red takes offense and runs off. Tim finds him in an obvious location, a nut shop. To explain Red's conviction to the store clerk and the police called in that he's a squirrel, Martin states that they are a singing group called the Squirrels performing at that evening's Police Follies.

Pay the Man the $24
Sun, May 1, 196630 mins
Tim uses Martin's CCTBS to go back to do some research for his historical novel on the 1626 sale of Manhattan from the Indians to the Dutch. Apparently, while back in time, Tim accidentally implied to Chief Buffalo that the $24 or 60 guilder sale price was a steal, the Chief thinking that he meant that Peter Minuit is trying to steal the island. This prevents the sale, so in the present day, what is now New York does not belong to the United States. Martin and Tim need to go back to 1626 Manhattan to rectify the situation. Martin is a good mediator, but the negotiations hit a snag when Chief Buffalo's daughter, Little Feather, takes a liking to Tim. Unbeknownst to Tim, he and Little Feather get engaged, and as a wedding gift, Chief Buffalo wants to give Manhattan to Tim. They need to find Little Feather's true mate to be, Young Deer, to get Tim out of this mess and get the sale of the island back on track. Ultimately, Martin needs to act as the Great Warrior Spirit to convince Chief Buffalo to do all the right things.
