An extraterrestrial vehicle lands at a remote desert air force base with a single passenger, dead from a massive bacterial infection. Too much time is spent on the opening scenes of Col. Ward (Gene Raymond) drinking and feeling sorry for himself but once the UFO begins its landing approach the episode picks up. With only about 15 minutes left to develop a complex scenario, the story takes great leaps in logic about decoding alien languages, figuring out alien pathophysiology, etc. But the final 'twist' is novel and Ward's climatic decision well set up. Star Trek fans will be pleased to see a young James Doohan as Sgt. Morgan. The episode I watched on-line has an interesting interlude, during which representatives of the show's sponsors (Jack Kreisler Mfg. Corp. And C. H. Masland and Sons) accept a Loyalty Award on behalf of the show from the V. F. W. For "...broadening... the American families' understanding of modern science". That shows such as 'Tales of Tomorrow' did much to interest viewers, (especially young viewers), in science and technology is undeniable, but it is interesting to see this contribution so prominently recognised by a veterans' organisation.
