Storyline
When Adams and his crew are sent to investigate the silence from a planet inhabited by scientists, he finds all but two have died. Dr. Morbius and his daughter Altaira have somehow survived a hideous monster which roams the planet. Unknown to Adams, Morbius has made a discovery, and has no intention of sharing it (or his daughter!) with anyone. Written by Rob Hartill

Narrator: In the final decade of the 21st Century, men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon. By 2200 AD, they had reached the other planets of our solar system. Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first obtained and later greatly surpassed...

Trivia
The Spaceship C57D, models and full-size prop was actually used in seven episodes of Twilight Zone. The list is as follows by season, "Third from the Sun", "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", "The Invaders", "To Serve Man", "Hocus-Pocus and Frisby", "Death Ship" and "On Thursday We Leave for Home". Robby's vehicle does appear in one episode. In "The Rip Van Winkle Caper", at the end when the final surviving gold thief is dying, a futuristic car stops and he begs for water. This is Robby's vehicle. The crew's outfits were used in a number of episodes, not to mention also in The Time Machine along with some props. The flickering force-field fence-posts appeared in Atlantis, the Lost Continent and were last seen being placed at the bottom of the ocean in Around the World Under the Sea. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: During the landing scene, the shadow of the ship (or a supporting structure of the suspended model) is visible briefly moving across one of the smaller mountains at the right side of the screen. See more »Quotes
