He goes to the wall and finds a secret panel. He enters a chamber and then sees a bright light which is a chest of treasure. Now Farraday Mansion looks better than it ever has before!

- In the year 3000 a faster than light space ship is developed to take man to the very end of the universe.

He makes it to the end and the ship does return to Earth. When they bring out the pilot all he can repeat over and over is "I know!" The scientists realize they must abandon their quest since the pilot's mind has snapped, but observe that he has finally gained some measure of happiness.
