Jones arrives in the future to discover that humans from Earth have invaded Mars. Seeing Jones in native attire, the humans assume he is a spy. They plant a worm in Jones and release him, hoping to follow him to the hiding place of the resistance fighters. Jones is captured by the Martians and learns that Dejah Carter, descendant of John Carter and Dejah Thoris, leads the resistance fighters. The Martians distrust Jones, but he earns their trust when he rescues Dejah from a human raiding party.
