[edit] Introduction

A team of scientists plan to use an incredibly strong magnetic field to open a door to another dimension.

[edit] Opening narration

The mind of man has always longed to know what lies beyond the world we live in. Explorers have ventured into the deeps and the heights. Of these explorers some are scientists, some are mystics. Each is driven by a different purpose. The one thing they share in common is a wish to cross the Borderlands that lie beyond the Outer Limits.

[edit] Plot

Scientist Ian Fraser invents a machine which can pierce the borderland between this world and what might just be the afterlife. Fraser convinces an industrialist to finance future experiments with the possibility of contacting the rich man's dead son.

[edit] Closing narration

There are worlds beyond and worlds within which the explorer must explore, but there here is one power which seems to transcend space and time, life and death. It is a deeply human power which holds us safe and together when all other forces combine to tear us apart — we call it the power of love.
