After Freddy and the Men From Mars (1954), our inimitable pig goes to bat for Mars again. Down around the Bean farm and Mr. Boomschmidt's circus, news travels fast and it is a distressing blow to hear that Squeak-squeak, one of the Martians, has disappeared mysteriously. Through complicated but of course expertly planned strategy, Freddy finds Squeak-squeak, to the delight of his companions, Chirp-squeak, Chirp, and Click-two-squeaks. It is to our delight too, and the baseball victory that hinges on Squeak-squeak's reappearance is knowingly reported.
