...It
is Christmas season and a toy maker, Orlich Hoffman (FRANK
GORSHIN), is busy putting the finishing touches on a toy drummer
when a buzzer sounds. He walks to the back of the toy shop and two
men enter carrying a long coffin-like box. Inside the crate is the
real Dr. Prescott, sound asleep. Meanwhile, the android Prescot is
being visited by Diana. While questioning him about Project XYZ,
she notices that one or his hand is on a hot burner with the coils
glowing red. He quickly jerks his hand away but knowing he's been
caught with no chance of reprieve. He starts to speak and suddenly
there is a slow buzzing sound which begins to get cutler. Before
long, he melts away. Diana rushes to Dr. Lazaar's apartment,
warning him that he is the only one that hasn't been replaced with
an android. She notices a set of toy soldiers and questions him as
to where he purchased them, then leaves immediately for the toy
shop... |
