SYNOPSIS


Uncle Martin wakes up one morning with a common cold.   
In a Martian, this is a difficult thing.  The cold bug germs 
get into his antennas, makes him extremely uncomfortable 
and cause him to uncontrollably DISAPPEAR and REAPPEAR
at the "ha-chew!" of a sneeze.

Tim is working on a feature article in a large department store.  
He is sent to review their Children's Space Display.  It is an 
absurd exhibit complete with endless mis-facts. The owner of 
the department store meets Tim and bullies him into writing the 
feature article as a "praise review" of the exhibit.

Uncle Martin reads Tim's notes and violently resents the mis-facts 
and childish concepts of the world he has come from.  He rewrites 
Tim's article as it should be written, as an accurate account of life 
in outer space.

Tim and Uncle Martin get into an argument about the article, and
Martin convinces Tim to stand up to the department store owner, 
confront him with the facts, and take a stand for honor and integrity.

The confrontation is a wild contest between Tim's statements of 
facts and the department store owner's anger. There is also the 
department store owner's daughter who is torn between loyalty 
to her father and Tim's sincerity.

It ends well.  With Tim shining through, with the department 
store owner seeing the light and with his daughter coat-tailing  
in on Tim's courage and finding her own.
