Scrambler

John Delson and his wife, Bess, are shocked and confused to awaken to the drastic movement of Bald Mountain, near their Arizona home. After seeing a lion chasing after a gazelle, the Delsons are further perplexed. Dr. Ikobewati, a creature from another time dimension, reveals himself to the Delsons. He informs them the errors of his Scrambler device might be caused by his traveling from another dimension in time. “I wish to apologize for my blunders…new inventions always have so many gremlins in them!” He further states that he is the “first man to cross from one world into another.” The buttons on the contrivance he wears on his chest cause distortions in reality. He transfers a black panther and a giraffe from Africa, but the two creatures arrive with their heads switched. He tweaks the device, sending them away. The results create an abstract landscape. When the world is set right again, John argues that the device is useless. Ikobewati makes John and Bess young again. Ikobewati returns to his own dimension, leaving the Delsons with a new lease on life. The Scrambler distorts, or scrambles, reality, can separate his body into sections without damage, and can travel through dimensions of time.
