Prison escapee Fred McCann accidentally hit a man with his green sedan. Fred is shocked to discover the man he struck is the spitting image of himself. Fred hears a strange noise in the woods and goes to investigate, finding a strange, spherical machine and two equally bizarre figures next to it. The strangers explain that they are alien scientists from Alpha Centauri. They are testing their newly-designed Time-Space Machine, which permits them to travel through space and time. To illustrate, they invite Fred on a trip to Earth’s past. They travel one million years into the past, to the age of the dinosaurs. Fred finds gold on the ground, but the Centaurians refuse to permit anyone to take anything from a different timeline. Fred threatens them, but the aliens persist. They are attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and barely escape in the time machine. Returning Fred to the same spot, but 10 minutes before they left, the aliens tell him they plan to share their machine with the people of Earth. Fred McCann decides he wants the time machine for himself, and shoots the visitors dead. He goes back to the road to find his car, but it’s gone. While he’s thinking, a green sedan runs him down. He realizes that he’s the driver.
