Burgess Meredith returns (he was formerly in the excellent Time Enough at Last from Season 1) as a weakling, granted incredible strength by visiting Martians during an experiment. He gains incredible fame for a short period, until they end their experiment when they find he used his great strength just to gain fame. Luckily, wandering Venusians grant him great intelligence, which he uses to impress the same people who liked his great strength, and the cycle begins again. Also stars Don Rickles.
