Synopsis

When a Martian father tells his son that things are bad on Mars, he tries to get an Earth couple to adopt him, but they realize he is a Martian and plan to turn him over to authorities. The boy flees, and spends years as a thief just to get by. After finding his sister, who has married a human and produced children without green hair like he has, he decides to use the flying saucer his father left behind to return to Mars in hopes that things are better there now.
