An agent from the Space Administration is dispatched to Spider County to check out some weird goings on. A group of young men have been persona non grata for a time. These young men are connected in some way. When the agent arrives, he knows that one of the fellows is about to be tried for murder. What ensues is an encounter where the young man meets a guy claiming to be his father. This is apparently true, but he is his intergalactic father. This alien comes from a planet where war and destruction and evil thinking have pretty much wiped out the mail population. Thoughts and dreams have been discounted and the five Spider County guys are the hope of the future. Unfortunately, the alien (who has tremendous powers of destruction, despite his role) has no success in talking the young guy into coming with him. The disconnect has become too great and better the enemy you know than the "friend" you don't. I found the episode a little bit dull an the motivations of the young guy sort of one dimensional. For one with big time powers and great intellect, he doesn't offer much. Still, it was somewhat intriguing.
