Synopsis:
Space Cabbie picks up a passenger headed to Titan, a moon of Saturn. The passenger is Vugga Vott, a martian who has created a mesh-suit capable of rendering the wearer invisible. After reaching Titan, Vott uses the suit to become invisible and skips out on paying. Angered, Space Cabbie searches the moon for Vott, until he finally gives up.

When Space Cabbie hears about a series of robberies on the moons of Saturn, he suspects Vott. He tries to explain the situation to the Interplanetary Police, but they do not believe him about the invisible martian. Space Cabbie then deduces Vott's robbery pattern. He parks his cab outside the next robbery location and successfully lures Vott inside. After a struggle, Space Cabbie delivers the martian to the authorities and receives a reward.
