Synopsis: On the planet Venus, a Venusian named Herbnik invents the BaBongos, and plays music that is unacceptable to his people. He decides to leave Venus and travels to Earth, where Little Archie saves his life by getting him a drink of ammonia. Little Archie then sets up a meeting between Herbnik and the talented talent agent Mr. Greenback Klutchum, who turns Herbnik into an Earth-wide musical star. But when humans start copying Herbnik's music, Earthlings reject him in favor of musicians who look like them.

Disclose Notes: A combination of science-fiction and satire of the music business. Herbnik's musical downfall is an obvious reference to the copying of African-American music by white performers in the late '50s.
