When Jeffrey Collins stops his car to help an injured motorcyclist, the hurt man vanishes before his eyes! Collins approaches a scientist, Dr. Whittaker, for an explanation. But when Whittaker is found dead from poisoning, Collins is accused of murder. The evidence against him is he'd quarrelled with Whittaker, and they both stood to make a fortune from some kind of formula. Collins, unable to explain, is found guilty - and so begins an astounding odyssey of space, time, and destiny.
