Synopsis:
Karel and Homer are captured by a race of lizard men and subjected to experiments. Karel is exposed to a rejuvenation machine which makes her grow increasingly younger. Homer is exposed to an aging machine that turns him into an old man. The lizard men are testing the devices to determine which will help them invade Earth.

Both Homer and Karel escape and meet Rick. They tell their stories to him, then he leaves to destroy one of the machines. He destroys the rejuvenation machine used on Karel, which he deduces would be most effective. After successfully destroying the weapon, Rick returns to his friends finding them both back to normal. The trio then returns to Earth to warn them of the lizard men and the invasion plans.
