At a Washington based Space Agency, agent John Bartlett reports that four gifted young scientists have vanished. The fifth and next one to leave is Ethan Wechsler, accused for murder and sent to prison in a rural county.

  Episode Quotes  
Opening Narration: In light of today's growing anxieties, it has become more absolute that the wealth of a nation consists in the number of superior men that it harbors. It is therefore a matter of deep concern, and deeper consequence, when four of the most magnificent and promising young minds in the country suddenly disappear off the face of the Earth...
 
Closing Narration: The wealth of a nation, of a world, consists in the number of superior men that it harbors, and often it seems that these men are too different, too dreaming. And often, because they are driven by powers and dreams strange to us, they are driven away by us. But are they really so different? Are they not, after all, held by the same things that hold us-by strong love, and soft hands?
 
Aabel: You and the others will start a new race for Eros. A race of men, who can not help but dream, who have the dream machine in their human half and call it 'soul'
