Episode Summary

An alien civilization dispatches four "social burdens" to a planet whose eccentric orbit threatens their world. These four people can become productive citizens by destroying this world. The aliens warn the "earth colony" there - but the Robinsons need at least a week to get their ship spaceworthy, and the aliens have given them exactly "one half of one diurnal cycle." Compounding the matter is Smith's accidental inhalation of alien fumes that give him the strength of dozens of men - for short periods of time.

Cultural References

Doctor Smith inhales fumes that cause him to grow apple green hair and become prodigiously strong. He plans to confront the aliens until the Alien Girl tricks him, and shears off his hair, taking his strength at the same time. When he manages to regain his hair, his strength returns. This is approximately the Biblical story of Samson and Delilah. The book of Judges, chapters 13 through 16, tells their story.
