Plot
editThe cartoon begins with a narrator describing the life of a bored Martian living in a perfect society on his planet. Uninterested in his advanced abilities and rejecting love, he seeks excitement elsewhere. Flying to Earth, he lands in Atlanta, where he is mistaken for a monster, leading to chaos and his imprisonment.
Confused, he tries to fit in but inadvertently causes havoc, believing he is destroying the supposed "monster". Realizing he is the monster, he contemplates suicide until the narrator reminds him of love. He returns home, realizing he is loved, and finds happiness again. The narrator concludes that with love, no one will be bored on Mars.
