Plot

Upon learning that the Astro-Dynamics Corporation plans to launch an instrument-bearing rocket into space, Martin (Ray Walston) hopes to hitch a ride home to Mars. His next step is to convince Astro-Dynamic's CEO J.M. Buckley (Herbert Rudley) to aim for Mars rather than Venus. Unfortunately, Buckley is a superstitious man, whose final decision hinges upon a lucky rabbit's foot--which at the moment, is nowhere to be found. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
