SYNOPSIS 

When Tim's Martian Uncle learns that an ancient Aztec Chest 
has been dug up which contains a record of a former visit to Earth, it 
becomes imperative that he make himself invisible and hop a plane to 
Xachapatchateca, the site of the discovery. There, however, an over-
indulgence in chili peppers causes a dread ailment, Martian 
pepperitis, which brings his antennae into plain view and keeps them 
there. This, coupled with a suspicious local Chief of Police, makes 
the recovery of the incriminating Aztec relic a most hazardous 
operation successful only with Tim's help. Trying to get back home, 
where an antidote for the dangerous malady is obtainable, becomes 
impossible. As the Martian wryly points out, riding a plane invisible 
is rather difficult with his antennae floating in full sight... and 
riding visibly is even more impossible since his Outer-Space passport 
says nothing of entry from Mexico to the United States. As the ailment 
becomes more acute, Uncle Martin's fertile mind overcomes the 
obstacles by an ingenious invocation to the hidden powers of 
Quetzylixl, the Good-Luck God of the ancient Aztecs! With a sigh of 
relief, Tim can't help pointing out that although Martians undoubtedly 
are superior to humans in many ways, there are very few Earth Men who 
can't eat chili peppers without worrying about their antennae popping 
up. To which the Senor from Mars ruefully has to agree.
