Synopsis: Jewel Men land on Mars to steal selenite. Space Ranger confronts them at Mars Harbor, having some success with a sound beam that destroys a few. The Jewel Men threaten his ship and Myra, and escape in the confusion. Cryll was ineffective during the fight because of a coating of ammonia on the Jewel Men, which gives Space Ranger a clue to where they are hiding. The Jewel Men are using the selenite to create more Jewel Men, and their jewel machinery sucks Space Ranger in. Cryll saves the day by morphing into a Saturnian Vibro-Deer, whose vibrations destroy the jewel and the jewel men.
