| - The flamboyantly dressed ("Tonight, I'm a space pirate! Permission to come aboard!"-Crow) Martian Kimar is upset that his children have become obsessed with TV shows from Earth that extol the virtues of Santa Claus. In the broadcast, a KID-TV reporter visits Santa's workshop and interviews the jolly old elf and his helpers. ("You know, elf tastes just like chicken."-Tom). Kimar, however, after a brief visit with the "laziest man on Mars", Martian Dropo, consults the wise oracle Chochem. ("He looks like a Troll doll."-Joel) Kimar is told that the children of Mars do not act like real children, and that to act normal again they must have fun in their life. Another Martian known as Voldar dislikes this idea and the two Martians repeatedly butt heads. It is also revealed in the flight that Dropo has stowed away on the ship. When the Martians arrive on Earth, they see many Santas, ("And he's kissing Mommy!"-Joel) but they do not know which is the real one. Kimar decides to ask two Earth children, Billy and Betty Foster, for help. They tell Kimar that the real Santa is at the north pole, but Voldar fears they might warn the authorities (because who wouldn't believe a pair of moppets with a wild story about meeting aliens?), so the Martians decide to take the children with them to the North Pole and to Mars. Dropo shows the children around the ship, but when the others come in he panics ("Oh-ho, Dropo, you've done it again!"-Joel) and forces them into the radar box. Kimar (Oscar Wilde 2000.-Tom) and the others arrive at the North Pole, and Kimar decides to use the mysterious "Torg" to capture Santa. Upon hearing this plan, Billy sabotages the ship's "radar box" ("No, no, no. The RADAR box, not the TOY box!"-Tom) to make sure that the Martians will be detected upon their escape from Earth. They then set out to find Santa's workshop and warn him before the Martians get him. However, they are waylaid by Voldar and an unconvincing "polar bear". ("You can see the fold where the headpiece is draped over the body!"-Tom) When they try and reach Santa for the second time, they are captured by Torg, a really unconvincing "robot". ("It's a guy in a cardboard box wearing a coffee urn on his head!"-Crow) They are brought back to the ship while Torg batters down the door of Santa's workshop. ("Knock-knock."-Joel) Santa, however, turns Torg into a toy, prompting the Martians to take him themselves, freezing several elves ("He stopped them SHORT!"-Tom") and Mrs. Claus in the process. Santa comes quietly and the rocket travels to Mars. Along the way, Santa tells several stories to the children in an effort to cheer them up (which Joel and the Bots interpret as war stories), but they fall flat. ("Santa, you're as funny as a train wreck!"-Crow) On the ship, Voldar attempts to dispose of the children and Santa by throwing them out the airlock, but they escape through the air vent, with Santa's chimney magic. When they arrive on Mars, Santa and the children meet the Martian children, Bomar and Girmar. Santa's infectious laughter makes the Martian children laugh for the first time in years, and Santa quickly builds a factory to make toys for the Martian children. ("Does Mars have child labor laws?"-Crow) Voldar, Stobo and Shim, sabotage the factory and change the programming so that it makes the toys incorrectly. Meanwhile, Dropo puts on one of Santa's spare suits ("I feel like I shouldn't be watching this."-Tom), as well as a false beard ("So, Lady Momar made Santa an extra beard?"-Tom) and starts talking and acting like Santa Claus. He goes to the toy factory to make toys, but Voldar mistakes him for the real Santa Claus and kidnaps him. When Santa and the children come back to the factory to make more toys, they discover that the machine has been tampered with. Voldar and Stobo come back to the factory to make a deal with Kimar, but when they see the real Santa Claus in the factory they realize that their plan has been foiled. Dropo, held hostage in a cave ("The Gum Disease Caverns."-Tom), tricks Shim, who was guarding him, and escapes. Kimar then arrests Voldar, Stobo and Shim. Santa notices that Dropo is acting like him, and says that Dropo would make a good Martian Santa Claus. Kimar agrees to make Dropo a Santa Claus on Mars and sends Santa and the children back to Earth. ("They'll die in the vacuum! They'll burn up on re-entry!"-Tom)[1]
