Synopsis
A man stumbles onto a highway and is hit by a car driven by Professor Elsom Cobb. On examination, Professor Cobb detects two hearts beating in the dying man’s chest. In his pockets are some very strange things, such as a coin-like platinum disk with an image of the planet Saturn and strange words on it, newspaper clippings about flying saucers, and a pocket television walkie talkie. It appears that this “alien” must be a secret agent from Saturn.
