Ultra City is rebuilding an advanced civilization after nuclear war, but mutations still occur. One such is young Tom Morrow, who is telepathic. When a woman worker is menaced by a runaway robot, Tom uses telepathy to gain control of the robot, then discovers that with psychokinesis he can free them from the collapsed building. The effort exhausts him, though, and he insists on keeping his powers secret. He reasons that he has many more still undiscovered.
