SYNOPSIS 

When Uncle Martin learns that an instrument-bearing 
rocket is in readiness to explore Outer Space, he decides 
to become the first interplanetary hitchhiker, that is, if the 
rocket heads for Mars. To influence this "if" in their favor, 
Uncle Martin and Tim call on J. M. Buckley, head of 
InterGalaxy Corporation. Their propaganda backfires when 
Buckley, a superstitious man, realizes it is Friday the 
Thirteenth, no day for making decisions. However, they 
manage to convince him that the Thirteenth is his lucky 
day, and the flight is on again -- until he loses his lucky 
rabbit's foot. By conversing with a rascally cat, Uncle Martin 
finally recovers the good luck charm... in shreds... and 
is forced to secure a substitute. The flight is now on again. 
Tim sadly watches the rocket take off and sees Uncle Martin 
apparently whoosh out of his life. At home, however, Uncle 
Martin sheepishly appears, admits that the additional 
equipment he had suggested eliminated all passenger space. 
"Welcome home, Uncle Martin."
