The Death Clock

Der wahnsinnige Wissenschaftler Mallory versetzt Captain Crane mit Hilfe einer Zeitschleuse in die Zukunft. Dort hat ein Doppelgänger soeben Admiral Nelson erschossen. Nun wird Crane von der gesamten Besatzung gejagt. (Quelle: Premiere)

"... but the Flying Sub's my baby!" Captain Crane to Chief Sharkey Seaview's reactor is running wild -- again. Without taking the time to don protective anti-radiation gear, Captain Crane runs into the Reactor Room to shut down the pile. An explosion renders him unconscious. Although treated in Sickbay with a special anti-radiation device, the Captain does not come out of his coma-like state. Doc can find no explanation. (Apparently, Doc hasn't read the script.) Corpsman Mallory has turned that life-saving device into a time-machine. Mallory is testing his fourth-dimension gadget on Crane before using it to enslave the entire world! A warped and insane Captain Crane from the future shoots and kills Admiral Nelson, because he believes the Admiral has held him back from achieving all he should have. Maybe he's paying Nelson back for the Krueger incident.

Crane entra en estado de coma después de recibir una gran carga radioactiva cuando intentaba solventar una avería en el reactor del Seaview. En la enfermería, se prueba con él una máquina antirradiación; su inventor se encuentra allí. Cuando Crane parece despertar del coma, se dirige a la cabina de Nelson y le asesina a sangre fría. Está siendo objeto de un diabólico experimento relacionado con una cuarta dimensión.
