No Space Like Home Part I
Starring: The Hair Bear Bunch Summary: Botch watches suspiciously as Hair has all the animals in the zoo training for track-and-field events. It's merely a distraction so they can pole vault out, but Botch stops them, and Peevly makes them pick up trash. Bubi finds a scrap of newspaper with an enticing job ad on it. Hair suggests that they float in their moat and has Fumbo the elephant dive in and splash them over the wall. They drop the ad as they fly, but they remember the address. Peevly and Botch find the scrap and follow The Hair Bear Bunch to Rockabuilt Manor, and all five are tricked into a rocket going on a mining expedition to Mars.

No Space Like Home Part II
(continued) Summary: Professor Rockabuilt launches his rocket. Botch still tries to net the bears, but is unprepared for weightlessness and trips, netting himself and Peevly instead. In the process, he bumps the remote control, sending them off course towards the sun. Hair Bear pushes buttons at random, sending them to the planet Tarulia. They land and meet the alien population. Luckily, Bubi can communicate with them, and he tells them Hair is his leader. The Tarulians need a new leader, so they make him king. Peevly frees himself from the net protests until they make him king instead. They soon discover that the king must defend the people from meteorettes that strike the planet every night by batting them away with a club. He misses one, which hits Hair, making him run for the rocketship. He trips over a shovel and remembers this was supposed to be a mining mission. He takes all the shovels and builds windmills that will swat away the rocks. Freed of their obligation, the bears and men board the ship and fly it home, where Peevly rewards the Bunch with a trip to the hockey game.
