Synopsis for Star Hawkins: "The Case of the Martian Witness"
Down on his luck Private Investigator of the future, Star Hawkins is looking for work, hopefully to earn enough to get his robot secretary Ilda back from the pawn shop. He applies to a classified ad for a big paycheck on a job in the asteroid belt. After being hired Hawkins hops an astrobus to the planetoid Vesta.
Some checking on the local area indicates only one place the kind of person Hawkins is looking for would hide out; the Red Jungle, full of weird, monstrous plants. Eventually Hawkins finds his quarry, the Martian Qar-Miq. He was a worker at a goldmine on the other side of Vesta that was robbed from its owner. Hawkins knocks him out and brings him back to testify for the crime. Having succeeded in his job, Hawkins buys Ilda back, but she suspects he might have to pawn her again the next time their money's tight.
