Magical animation details the extraterrestial adventures of hand-drawn harlequin, Koko the clown. Reluctant astronaut Koko inadvertantly launches Mr. Fleischer skyward and the two conclude their supernatural reverie in a ‘taxi-crab’ flung to the rings of Saturn. Koko’s martian odyssey reveals a wealth of unlikely and outlandish natives.
