Synopsis:
Captain Marvel: ”The Pied Un-Piper”
A hippie discovers a new ‘out-there’ instrument with which he gathers all the criminals into prison. The police are thankful, and the city offers him a million dollars if he can do this impossible task, but it turns out they cannot spare the money. The musician takes revenge by luring aliens to Earth with the music. The first race seemingly steals the Earth’s oxygen, but they actually just suck up pollution from planets that do not need it, as they live on that. The second race lands and starts looting, but get addicted to chocolate, and quickly develop cavities, they go back home, promising to build dentist equipment instead of weapons from now on. The third one steals all the color green from Greenville, because they worshiped the color and their whole planet was full of green, but it was stolen from them. The Marvels realize that if the aliens want everything to be green, they can simply provide them with green-tinted glasses. The aliens in gratitude give a million dollars worth of gems. The Marvels rush the loot to the malicious musician, who says they can donate it to charity, and explains it wasn’t about the money, he just wanted to be appreciated and goes off to find a band for himself.
