Synopsis

A scientist invents a ray that transports him into a peaceful world. He wants to marry the king's daughter but being poor, the king refuses him. When the ray wears off he returns to his own world, acquiring weapons as gifts to the king before he returns to the world of peace. He uses the ray again and offers the king the weapons if he allows his daughter to marry him. The man intended the weapons as aids but the king has dreams of conquest. In order to prevent the corruption of the peaceful world, the man destroys the weapons and flees the wrath of the king, leaving behind his lover forever.
