SYNOPSIS 

Tim has trouble with his memory; he can't keep his 
girlfriends straight. Uncle Martin offers to help him with a little 
Martian invention, a machine which clears the memory uppermost in your 
brain and records it on a small white pill. To recover the memory you 
simply swallow the pill.

In Uncle Martin's absence, Tim uses the machine and is so 
startied by Martin's unexpected return that he clears a11 memory of 
Martin from his brain. Seeing an instance of Martin's superhuman 
powers convinces Tim that he is menaced by a strange being from 
another planet. Martin, on the other hand, cannot allow Tim to leave, 
for fear Tim will give away the secret of his identity.

Mrs. Brown comes by and Tim appeals to her for help against the 
strange Martian. Uncle Martin explains Tim's "ravings" by saying Tim 
hit his head and is suffering from amnesia. Mrs. Brown goes to call a 
doctor and Martin has to chase after her to clear her brain of Tim.

The doctor comes anyway and is puzzled over the fact that 
Tim doesn't remember Martin and Mrs. Brown doesn't remember Tim. The 
doctor's prescription is tranquilizers, but these get mixed up with 
Martin's memory pills. As a result, both Mrs. Brown and the doctor 
become programmed with Martian memories: of a landing on Mars, and 
orbiting in a satellite. Before they are successfully cleared and 
Tim's own memory restored there is one horrible moment when Uncle 
Martin's memory is accidentally cleared and he forgets he is from 
Mars. But at the end everyone is back to normal.
