Martin Brandt

Watson White

Synopsis 1:

A young inventor is tried for murdering a scientist and found guilty by a jury who

doesn't understand the implications of the fantastic story the young man has told.

The scientist paid him $5,000 to use his recently invented super blowtorch to open

a secret door behind which is housed a machine which has recorded all the major

events in the history of the world. When an alien civilization monitoring the machine

learns that the H-Bomb has been tested, it deploys its space ships to invade the Earth.

The guilty verdict of the jury is overridden by the guilty verdict of the invading alien spaceships.

Synopsis 2:

An Archeologist discovers a cavern full of extraterrestrial machinery left by ancient astronauts.

 While examining the equipment, he accidentally triggers it to send an emergency

 signal to an alien invasion force. Can he stop the beacon or is Earth doomed?

A machinist is suspected of killing a prominent archeologist.

However, the accused murderer reveals to the disbelieving jury that they should

just as the two men had uncovered evidence of an imminent alien invasion.
