[edit] Plot

TIME TRAVEL! Who has never fantasized about it? What would happen if we could travel up and down the centuries as easily as we travel through space? Professor Mortimer, a scientist, can't resist the lure of such a prospect when his old adversary, the mad Dr. Miloch, invites him to get into a machine... But, as he soon finds out, the time travel device has some malfunctions and he can't control his destination. Long-forgotten wild beasts attack him in a prehistoric swamp, an abusive feudal lord embroils him in a serf revolt in the Middle Ages, and a 53rd-century commando unit hails him as their liberator when a <<Thing>> is about to devastate civilization.
