Shelldrake has been desperately searching for a way to avoid problems with the IRS and unpaid millions owed them in back taxes. His brilliant yet overpaid accountant (Phil Proctor) devises a scheme to allow the producer to write off the expenses of his next movie release, but only if the film is a box office flop.

The only one who believes David is the school nurse, Linda Magnuson. Together, David and Linda enlist the aid of the U.S. Marines to help save the world. The film ends when David realizes that everything that has happened was a dream.

Daffy Duck reprend son rôle célèbre de Duck Dodgers dans une autre parodie des séries spatiales du samedi après-midi. Affecté pour localiser la molécule de crémaillère nécessaire pour le polissage yo-yo, Dodgers et son copain, un jeune cadet de la jeunesse (Porky Pig), s'écrasent dans leur vaisseau spatial dans une coquille d'œufs géants, où ils trouvent Marvin Martien, qui, comme d'habitude, tente de détruire la Terre, dans une tentative de résoudre « problème de carburant». Marvin demande à Dodgers de visiter le boudoir de Gossamer, que Dodgers pense être une princesse de l'espace, mais Gossamer se révèle être un monstre géant et poilu dans les baskets, et les Dodgers effrayés s'enfuient. Porky utilise des tondeuses électroniques pour littéralement coiffure Gossamer dans le néant, et Dodgers, furieux des interprétations tout aussi littérales de son assistant à ses ordres, tire à plusieurs reprises son pistolet à Porky. Lorsque Porky demande ce que la Terre fera sans la molécule à crémaillère, Dodgers répond: Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.

The story involves the people of Mars, including Momar ("Mom Martian") and Kimar ("King Martian"). They're worried that their children Girmar ("Girl Martian") and Bomar ("Boy Martian") are watching too much Earth television, most notably station KID-TV's interview with Santa Claus in his workshop at the North Pole. Consulting the ancient 800-year-old Martian sage Chochem (a Yiddish word meaning "genius"), they are advised that the children of Mars are growing distracted due to the society's overly rigid structure; from infancy, all their education is fed into their brains through machines and they are not allowed individuality or freedom of thought.

Une rampe de lancement de fusée se trouve exactement au-dessus du terrier de Bugs Bunny. Notre lapin se réveille d'une nuit difficile. Il ne se rend pas compte qu'en sortant de chez lui, il rentre dans la fusée par la tuyère. La fusée quitte la Terre avec le lapin à bord. Bugs émerge enfin du sommet de la fusée, se rend compte qu'il est loin dans l'espace. Il se retrouve accroché au spoutnik avec lequel il atterrit dans une sorte de gigantesque station spatiale. Il découvre l'extraterrestre Marvin se déplaçant vers un étrange (et très gros) télescope orienté sur la Terre, et qui se révèle être un canon dont le but est de détruire cette planète qui lui cache la vue de Vénus. Il loge à la base du « canon-télescope » une pièce décisive, qui est en fait un tout petit bâton de dynamite. Bugs éteint le bâton avant qu'il n'explose, puis le vole. Marvin envoie ses « troupes » à la poursuite de Bugs, troupes formées de martiens à corps de poulet vert. Il les crée à partir d'un distributeur automatique doté d'une capacité de 10 000 martiens « instantanés », déshydratés dans leur bocal. Marvin les fait revenir à leur taille normale en les arrosant avec de l'eau comme avec des graines.
