Synopsis
A man builds a time machine and takes a skeptical colleague along with him to some previous unpredictable era. When he opens the door, the machine is back where it was and the colleague berates him for wasting time and money and makes him promise to give up such foolishness. The scientist is perplexed as it should have worked according to theory but sadly dismantles the machine thinking it a failure. Unknown to him, the machine actually did work creating a complete loop throughout time finishing where it began and creating countless myths and legends by those who sighted it including being responsible for recent sightings of flying saucers.
