My Favorite Martian - 0111 The Atom Misers

Martin needs a substance called silibalt to repair his space ship, but it has not yet been invented on Earth. To make some, he needs a cyclotron. Martin tries to build a cyclotron in Tim's kitchen but there isn't enough power. Learning there is a powerful cyclotron at the university, Martin goes with Tim to interview 13-year old physics genius Donald Mumford (Flip Mark). Martin and Donald get together to discuss the making of silibalt. Tim speaks with Dr. Jackson (Jerome Cowan) of the Physics department and Jeanine Carter (Jean Hale), his assistant. Dr. Jackson is against Donald being admitted to the school. Donald and Martin cause an explosion while working on the cyclotron. Dr. Jackson immediately expels Donald and Martin is banished from the university. Martin convinces Dr. Jackson that Donald should be kept at the school. Donald manages to make some silibalt for Martin. Martin's only problem now is that he has no instrument hard enough to cut or mold the silibalt. (Emil Sitka as Workman-1.)
