My Favorite Martian (1963)
S01E27 Danger! High Voltage!
Episode Overview
Title: High Voltage Hazard! Plot: Martin is in desperate need of a power boost for his journey back to Mars, but he accidentally overcharges himself. Now, he’s faced with two major dilemmas. First, if he remains overloaded, he risks developing bizarre symptoms, including a plaid-patterned face. Currently, his incessant sneezing is causing electrical devices to activate randomly. Second, the local power company is tracing the blackout to the O'Hara residence and has enlisted police assistance for what they suspect is deliberate interference with the power grid. To quickly discharge the excess energy, Martin decides to target the power station directly. He becomes invisible and sneaks into a service truck sent to investigate. After creating a diversion for the technician, Martin successfully releases his surplus electricity back into the grid, but yet again, he loses the chance to return to Mars.
