Through a comedy of errors, Donald finds himself on the run from the police – a situation the unscrupulous Dr. Kraus and Doggsbane fully exploit by pretending to hide him from the pursuing cop and shanghaiing him on their rocketship journey to Mars. Donald is forced to do all the dirty work and take all the risks of the journey. Dr. Kraus and Doggsbane are heading to the Red Planet to recover a secret of great power discovered by Captain Boris Bluff, previously marooned on Mars by the dastardly duo. Can "The Secret" help Donald, Bluff, and his Pindos overcome Kraus and his attacking Pondos?
