Synopsis:
While chasing the "Big Boy" Benson mob, the Martian Manhunter is struck with a bout of amnesia. A cosmic cloud passing between Mars and Earth may be the cause. The crooks use the Manhunter’s amnesia to help them steal. He even allows them to photograph his secret identity.

The crooks lead the Manhunter to their boss’ hide-out where Manhunter’s amnesia seems to pass. He captures the Benson and his gang then returns the stolen items. He may have been faking the amnesia to be led to the boss. The photo of his secret identity is not John Jones since he apparently forgot what his human guise looked like.
