Handlung
Fünf amerikanische Wissenschaftler möchten wissen, wie die Menschen reagieren, wenn ein Außerirdischer in ihrer Mitte auftaucht. Kaum gedacht, schon in die Tat umgesetzt: ihr Opfer ist Simon Mendelssohn. Der Privatgelehrte bekommt ein Serum verabreicht, vergisst seine Herkunft und wird der staunenden Öffentlichkeit als "Mann vom anderen Stern" präsentiert...
