Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Martian "defense mechanism" for exhaustion is to split into two different personalities: one for work, the other for play. Thus, as the worn-out Martin (Ray Walston) sleeps, his swinging alter ego Pierre (also Ray Walston) materializes, and immediately heads out on the town to make whoopee. The trouble begins when "Pierre" proposes marriage to a girl named Flossie (Joyce Jameson)--whose musclebound brother Harold (Hal Baylor) is determined that the wedding take place immediately, or else! (Trivia note: In the original TV Guide listings, Martin's alternate personality was identified as "Ricardo").
