No Turning Back!
A Martian scout is struck by an auto and develops amnesia. While in the hospital he falls in love with a nurse. Eventually another scout tracks him down. He overpowers him and knocks him unconscious but the fight has returned his memory. He tells the nurse that his overlords were worried Earth would develop space flight and free the worlds Mars has conquered. He must return to Mars and give a false report that will buy Earth time to right the injustice Mars has committed. The tearful nurse watches her love blast off in order to return to Mars forever.
