Capt. Markova: That’s where you fit into the plan, Allison. Make no mistake about it.[/box]
Mutants are much cheaper than monsters.
Test pilot Maj. William Allison finds himself in the year 2024. He is promptly arrested as a spy and finds himself thrown underground with blood thirsty mutants. At the last minute, he is wanted for questioning. It turns out that a plague ravaged the Earth in 1973 and caused the mutations. The people living above ground are also slightly mutant, being entirely sterile – that is except for possibly the Supreme’s deaf-mute daughter Tirene.
Others have crossed the time barrier before him, but Allison is the only pre-plague traveler. The group plots to sent him back to his own time, where he can possibly avert the plague.
This is moderately OK but did not really float my boat. The poor quality print available on YouTube did not help.
