  Episode Summary  
In the first quarter of the XXIth Century, wealthy and corrupted space anthropologist Henderson James owns a forbidden and dangerous species: the Megasoid. The beast runs from its cage and hides in a zoo. Henderson James decides to make an illegal duplicate of himself to chase the monster. The look-like meets the wife of Henderson and understand each other very well because the clone displays the lost affection of the original man. Unfortunately, the real husband is killed by the creature and the human copy will die at midnight owing to a control poison in its bloodstream.

  Episode Quotes  
Opening Narration: Since the first day that Man stared up at the stars and saw other worlds, there has been no more haunting question than this: What will we find there? Will there be other creatures, and will they be like us? Or when that ancient dream comes true, will it turn into a nightmare? Will we find, on some distant, frozen planet, an alien life of unimaginable horror?
 
Closing Narration: In all the Universe, can there be creatures more strange than the species called Man? He creates and destroys; he fumbles and makes mistakes. But the thing which distinguishes him is the ability to learn from his mistakes.
 
Miss Thorsen: There have been several cases where it was 'not' the duplicate who was destroyed.
