My Favorite Martian (1963)
S01E24 Super-Duper Snooper
Episode Overview
Mrs. Brown enrolls in a private detective course and selects Martin as her target for her first assignment. Although Martin is aware of her intentions, he worries that she might uncover his Martian secret. When Mrs. Brown discovers his flight log written in Martian, Martin becomes anxious that the untrained eye will misinterpret it. She snaps a photo of the log, raising Martin's fears that it could be sent to the authorities, who might suspect him of espionage. After mailing the film to her dubious instructor, J. Nathaniel Pierce, Martin frantically searches his office but finds nothing. He learns that the mailman won’t deliver the package due to lack of postage. With a bit of levitation, Martin retrieves the film, securing his secret. Concerned for Mrs. Brown's safety against potential criminals, he advises her to drop the course, but she opts instead to take judo lessons for extra protection.
