SUMMARY
Birthdays on the planet Ork are traumatic events which tend to be fatal without the strange power boosts from the gleek. Mork's hours are
numbered unless he can get a power recharge from his egg-shaped "gleek" before his fast-approaching birthday arrives - but Mindy has
unwittingly stored away the gleek with its look-alikes in an egg carton. Mork begins to speed up and slow down alternately as his memory
fails. After Mork collapses at the McConnell music store, Frederick summons a doctor who happens to be a pediatrician. Dr. Phillips is so
astounded by Mork's symptoms that Mindy's family is forced to reveal that the patient is from another planet.
