The Moon Man ends up getting thrown in prison because the people mistake him for an invader, instead of a friendly visitor,[1] and even gets shackled with a ball and chain.
Nights later, he enters the third quarter of the phase of the moon, shrinking to a small size[1] and so can escape, via the window.
Two weeks later, the Moon Man grows back to his full size, wandering while discovering the plants and animals, he comes upon a garden party, with people in gorgeous costumes dancing.
Swiftly outracing the police, he comes upon a hidden castle, where he finds scientist Bunsen van der Dunkel, who shows him his experiment he had been perfecting for years: a spaceship, which the Moon Man can use to go back home.
This version featured a heavily expanded plot, in which the Moon Man is hunted by the President of Earth (voiced by Michel Dodane).
